D. All students are self-conscious and need encouragement, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Despite the differences, all students in the classroom have a rich culture and background.

Explanation:

The best way to accept people of other cultures is not to ignore their differences but to acknowledge them. Every person, no matter their culture, has a deep history of heritage and tradition. To respect someone's culture, one should accept the differences between everyone and understand that they are all beautiful. Even if someone is different from you, it does not make their culture any worse or less rich.
