competence

question 8 (4 points)
when people travel around the world, they often have to ___ to a new culture and accept that just because something is different doesnt mean it is wrong.
incorporate
persisted
adapt
evade

Explanation:

• Question 7:
• "Competence" means the ability to do something well. A confusing speech would make people question a judge's ability (competence) to oversee a trial.
• "Enhances" (a) means to improve, which doesn't fit the context of questioning. "Adapt" (b) means to adjust, not relevant here. "Evade" (d) means to avoid, which is also not the right fit.
• Question 8:
• "Adapt" means to adjust to new conditions. When traveling, people need to adjust (adapt) to a new culture.
• "Incorporate" (a) means to include, not the right action. "Persisted" (b) means to continue, which is not relevant. "Evade" (d) means to avoid, which is the opposite of what is needed.

Answer:

Question 7: C. Competence
Question 8: C. Adapt
