Question

which two cultural terms have the most similar meanings? A. acculturation and appropriation B. assimilation and appropriation C. acculturation and assimilation D. diffusion and assimilation

Answer 1

The two closest terms are  C. acculturation and assimilation.

Both terms refer to the process in which two cultures meet and interact and "borrow" some aspects of the other culture - the difference is that assimilation produces more similar culture.

In contrast appropriation is a one-way process: only one culture takes on the characteristics of another culture.
