Explanation:

Question 16

The diagram likely shows a process where a cultural trait is absorbed (assimilation diffusion). Assimilation diffusion involves a culture adopting another's traits fully. The options: Assimilation (A) fits as it's about full adoption, while others like Contagious (spread through contact), Hierarchical (through hierarchy), Relocation (movement), Stimulus (adapting a trait's idea) don't match the diagram's depiction of full adoption.

Forcing American Indian children into English - speaking schools to adopt English culture is forced assimilation (making a group adopt another's culture by force). Syncretism (blending), Multiculturalism (valuing diversity), Forced migration (movement), Cultural appropriation (taking traits) don't fit. Forced assimilation is imposing a culture, so option D.

English on websites: Hierarchical diffusion (spreads from powerful groups, like global media/business) and contagious (spreads through contact, like people using it online) or stimulus? Wait, English spread via hierarchy (powerful entities using it) and contagious (people adopting it through interaction). Option E: Hierarchical and contagious diffusion. Hierarchical (from top - down, like businesses/websites) and contagious (person - to - person online) fits.

Answer:

A. Assimilation
