Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acculturation refers to the adaptation of cultural traits and behaviors by immigrants to fit in their new environment. A child from France learning English at home represents the process of acculturation as the child is adapting to the new language spoken in the United States. Options A, B, and D highlight challenges faced by immigrants but do not necessarily represent the process of acculturation. Feeling isolated, being angry that no one speaks one's native language, and seeking out immigrants from one's native country are not necessarily indicators of adaptation to the new culture.
