2. One ancient tradition in Japan that remains part of daily life is respect for
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

B. elderly people

Explanation:

I don't know if this counts but personally growing up in an Asian community, I think it's safe to say we pretty much worship our elders and if we didn't we'd be in big trouble.

So why is it B.?

Respecting the elderly is an ancient Asian tradition, and is also a part of daily life in terms of respect. B. falls into both categories.

Why is it not the others?

Japanese have just incorporated urban life and trendy fashion into their life and not any sooner than this generation so not A.

Outsiders is not very relevant to the answer because if you're an outsider, so be it so I wouldn't say C.

Asians think more for family than theirselves which is why it wouldn't be D.
