Answer:

A) Culture shock

Explanation:

This is a clear example of what A) culture shock is: When someone is on a trip far from his homeland he experiences other cultures which have differents approaches to life (such as the kiss, or other´s like religion, food, dancing, clothing, sports etc.). When one encounters such different approaches <u>there´s always a chance of being shoked </u>by them (like our friend Rodney).

The answer clearly is not B) imperialism beacuse Rodney does not have any political or military attitude towards the italians. Neither is                      C) ethnocentrism because Rodney is not making a judgement towards the italian salute, he was simply suprised. And is not D) xenocentrism because  Rodney is not prefering the Italian way of saluting over the american way.

Why do homes in Sweden and Norway have steep roofs?
Dafna1 [17]

Its mostly a stylistic choice although at one points it was mostly a heat related idea. Hot air rises so having a steep roof allowed for the accumulation of hot air. It was also a good windbreaker so a collection of houses were able to stop a lot of the harsh wind from damaging things.

The easiest way for people to stop smoking is to quit “cold-turkey.” Please select the best answer from the choices provided. T
Paraphin [41]
First of all, this will depend on the particular person, for some people, the "Cold Turkey" method does indeed produce the best results.

However, generally, it's not easy in the sense of being able to keep it up: a gradual cessation can  make it easier for people to stay away from cigarettes.
So the statement is false.

Which cyberspace operational task is to permanently, completely, and irreparably deny access to, or operation of, a targeted fun
LuckyWell [14K]

Traditional cyberspace operational task is to permanently, completely, and irreparably deny access to, or operation of, a targeted function for the foreseeable scope of the conflict.

Cyberspace, according to the Department of Defense, is the fictitious space in which digital information is transmitted over computer networks. The DOD's regular business operations in and through cyberspace are made up of its military, intelligence, and intelligence-related activities. Military operations in cyberspace employ cyberspace capabilities to produce effects that aid operations in both the physical and cyberspace domains. In order to carry out national security duties, cyberspace operations are carried out under the jurisdiction of the judicial branch. Traditional threats typically come from states using well-known military tactics and recognized military forces. Non-intelligence activities make up cyberspace OPE and serve as the foundation for subsequent operations.

When your vehicle is about to be hit from the rear, be ready to ______.
miv72 [106K]
I believe the answer is: B. apply the brakes

Applying the brakes wouldn't help you to avoid collision in that situation, but it would definitely help in preventing you from being forced to hit the car in front of you. So by doing this, you minimize the amount of damage that happens in the accident and potentially save other people live.
