A Cross-cultural exchange B Cultural exploitation C Cultural appreciation D Cultural appropriation Question 37: According to paragraph 1, what can be suggested about cultural exchange, cultural appropriation and assimilation? A Cultural exchange and assimilation are the subcategories of cultural appropriation B Cultural exchange happens when different cultures come together on an equal footing C The three practices involve dominant cultures taking some features from minority ones D Cultural assimilation is practiced to ensure survival and to avoid discrimination Question 38: The word "it” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A group B ownership C land D oppression Question 39: The word "ties” in paragraph refers to _ A strings B friendships C ropes D connections Question 40: According to the passage, which is NOT true about cultural appropriation?
