Explanation:

First Question (Native Americans' challenge)

• Option a: Native Americans weren't central to de facto segregation eradication (focus was on African Americans), so a is wrong.
• Option b: Native Americans face the challenge of combating negative stereotypes (like being portrayed as "savages" or "drunk") while preserving their cultural heritage, so b is correct.
• Option c: Ethnocentric attitude (viewing one's group as superior) toward the dominant group is not a positive or realistic challenge they aim for, so c is wrong.
• Option d: Promoting inequalitarian pluralism (unequal treatment) among the dominant group is not a goal or challenge; they seek equality, so d is wrong.

As societies industrialize, there's a shift from traditional (often gender - segregated, female - dominated in domestic roles) to more modern economies. Industrialization brings more job opportunities outside the home, legal reforms for women's rights (like voting, property rights), and social changes that value women's education and participation. So the statement "The status of women tends to improve as societies industrialize" is true.

• Option a: Earning fortunes in agriculture/fish canneries is not a main reason for current high household income, so a is wrong.
• Option b: Most Filipino Americans are not in high - wage service sectors; many work in healthcare (nursing, etc.) which is not always high - wage in the way this implies, so b is wrong.
• Option c: Most don't have start - up capital to open businesses, so c is wrong.
• Option d: Filipino Americans have high educational attainment among Asian Americans, and education is strongly correlated with higher income. So d is correct.

Answer:

b. erasing negative stereotypes while maintaining their heritage.
