1- The correct answer is that ethnicity is related to culture; race is related to biological ancestry.
The traditional definitions of race and ethnicity are linked to biological and sociological factors, respectively. Race refers to physical characteristics, such as bone structure or the color of eyes and hair. Ethnicity, however, refers to cultural factors such as nationality and language.
Some examples of race are, for example, the black and caucasian race. On the other hand, some examples of ethnicity are the ethnic Germans or the Han of China. It can be said that race is determined by the physicality of people. Ethnic origin, on the other hand, is determined by the social and cultural groups to which one belongs. One may have more than one ethnic origin, but only one race, even if it is mixed.
2- The correct answer is that having blonde hair and blue eyes is not an example of an element of culture, since it refers to the physical aspect of the person.
3- The statement that says that pop culture focuses on localized traditions and customs is incorrect. Pop culture is a movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and the United States in the mid-twentieth century, inspired by the aesthetics of everyday life and consumer goods of the time, such as advertisements, comic books, "mundane" cultural objects and of the world of cinema. Pop art, like pop music, sought to use popular images in opposition to the elitist culture existing in the Fine Arts, separating them from their context and isolating them or combining them with others, as well as highlighting the banal or kitsch aspect of some cultural element, often through the use of irony.
4- The statement that gives an example of folk culture rather than pop culture is the one that says that many Irish participate in the St. Patrick Day parade.
The St. Patrick's Day parade became a national holiday in Ireland in 1903, due to its strong connection to the traditions and beliefs of the Irish people.
5- The statement that isn't an example of Human Geography is the one that refers to people's minds and thought processes, since this is related with biology or psichology rather than human geography.
6- The correct answer is Islam. The Islamic religion is the main belief in North Africa, Middle East and part of South Asia.
7- The correct answer is Hinduism. One of its main beliefs is reincarnation
8-The statement that best illustrates folk culture is "dressing up in cowboy clothing for the annual Texas rodeo competitions", since both the dress and the event respond to the cultural traditions of the American Southwest.
9- The correct answer is Buddhism. Buddhism is a non-theistic "philosophical and spiritual doctrine" belonging to the Dharmic family. It comprises a variety of traditions, religious beliefs and spiritual practices mainly attributable to Buddha Gautama. Buddhism originated in India between the sixth and fourth centuries BC, from where it spread to much of eastern Asia and declined its practice in the country of origin during the Middle Ages. Nowadays, the vast majority of their followers are from China.
10- The event based on an ethnic tradition is St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, and so St. Patrick's Day is celebrated as a national holiday.
