which is an identifying characteristic of pluralism?
a. minorities are encouraged to keep their unique identities.
b. minorities are kept separate from the rest of the population.
c. minorities are required to move to a country that has more people like them.
d. minorities are forced to drop their unique identities.

Explanation:

Pluralism is a concept in social science (specifically related to sociology and politics). It emphasizes that different groups (including minorities) can co - exist while maintaining their unique identities within a larger society. Option B (keeping minorities separate) is more like segregation. Option C (requiring minorities to move) is not a characteristic of pluralism. Option D (forcing minorities to drop identities) is assimilation. Option A aligns with the idea of pluralism as it allows minorities to keep their unique identities.

Answer:

A. Minorities are encouraged to keep their unique identities.
