Explanation:

To determine how learning about Dong Soo's culture changes Joshua's future actions, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The passage doesn't suggest Joshua will eat the same foods. Eliminate.
• Option B: There's no indication Joshua will stop being friends due to rules. Eliminate.
• Option C: Using learned table manners implies adapting to Dong Soo's cultural dining etiquette, showing a change in behavior. This fits.
• Option D: The focus is on cultural impact on actions, not just language learning for communication (though related, C is more direct about cultural influence on behavior). Eliminate.

Answer:

C. Joshua will use the table manners he learned when eating a meal with Dong Soo or his family.
