The culture of Brazil is primarily Western, but presents a very diverse nature showing that an ethnic and cultural mixing occurred in the colonial period involving mostly Indigenous peoples of the coastal and most accessible riverine areas, Portuguese people and African people. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, together with further waves of Portuguese colonization, Italians, Spaniards, Germans, Austrians, Levantine Arabs (Syrians and Lebanese), Armenian, Japanese, Chinese, Poles, Helvetians, Ukrainians and Russians settled in Brazil, playing an important role in its culture as it started to shape a multicultural and multiethnic society.[1] As consequence of three centuries of colonization by the Portuguese empire, the core of Brazilian culture is derived from the culture of Portugal. The numerous Portuguese inheritances include the language, cuisine items such as rice and beans and feijoada, the predominant religion and the colonial architectural styles.[2] These aspects, however, were influenced by African and Indigenous American traditions, as well as those from other Western European countries.[3] Some aspects of Brazilian culture are contributions of Italian, Spaniard, German, Japanese and other European immigrants.[4] Amerindian people and Africans played a large role in the formation of Brazilian language, cuisine, music, dance and religion.
This diverse cultural background has helped boast many celebrations and festivals that have become known around the world, such as the Brazilian Carnival and the Bumba Meu Boi. The colourful culture creates an environment that makes Brazil a popular destination for many tourists each year, around over 1 million.
This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
Read the excerpt from The Land:
Willie Thomas hauled off and slapped Mitchell across the face with the back of his hand. "Don't ya get smart wit' me!" Mitchell turned his head at the impact, but he didn't fall back. It was as if he had already braced himself for the attack. "You done had somethin' t' do wit' this here stallion bein' cut up, I knows it!" Willie raved on. "You had somethin' t' do wit' it, I gets the blame, and I lose my good job! Tell me what ya done!"
Willie’s motivation would best be called extrinsic because he is:
A) worried about losing his job.
B) angry that he cannot control the situation.
C) anxious about failing at his job.
D) worried about ruining his reputation.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) worried about losing his job.
Explanation:
In this excerpt we can see that Willie's extrinsic motivation is that he is afraid of losing his job. This extrinsic motivation involves something external, that is, it does not come from a person: in this case it would be that he could lose his job because of the state of Ghost Wind.
He will be at fault, and that is what leads him to slap Mitchell across the face with the back of his hand.
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
Could you show more? I can’t tell what should be right.
It is choppy and there are too many periods (which makes it choppy).
Each sentence ends abruptly, that's all I know.
Hope I was of use, have a great day!
Cheers,
