Which C focuses on comparing cultures and identifying similarities and differences?

• A. Communications
• B. Comparisons
• C. Cultures
• D. Communities

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is the act of examining cultures side by side to spot similarities and differences. When you compare cultures, you look at customs, beliefs, values, and practices across groups to see what they share and where they diverge. That process—analyzing two or more cultures against each other to highlight commonalities and distinctions—is what Comparisons is about, making it the best fit.

Communications is about how messages are sent and understood, not specifically about contrasting cultures. Cultures refers to the set of shared beliefs and practices themselves, not the act of comparing them. Communities describe groups of people who share something in common, but again, it’s about the group rather than the process of comparing cultures.
