Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or improper,
normal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is unlike our own, we may
experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a fundamentally
different culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other cultures; however,
passing judgment could reach a level where people begin to discriminate against others whose “ways of
being” are different than their own—essentially, we tend to fear that which we do not understand.
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and schools increasingly consist of
various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first we must have a level
of understanding about each other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about
other cultures helps us understand different perspectives within the world in which we live and helps
dispel negative stereotypes and personal biases about different groups.
In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect “ways of being” that are not necessarily our
own, so that as we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across
cultures. Furthermore, this diversity makes our country a more interesting place to live, as people from
diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different
experiences.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
There are several ways to measure how often men and women appear in news photos. One way is to
think about all the photos together as making up one big crowd of people and estimating what share are
women versus men. Women made up 33% of all the 53,067 individuals identified in news post images,
while men made up the other 67%.
Another way to look at the data is to examine the mix of people who appear in each image. Across the
22,342 posts with photos containing identifiable human faces, more than half of them exclusively showed
men, while less than a quarter showed exclusively women. The remaining images show at least one man
and one woman.
All 17 news outlets included in the study showed more men than women in news images on Facebook
during the study period. The share of individuals who were identified as women by the model ranges
from 25% to 46%, by outlet.
While these findings are striking, there is no perfect benchmark or “true ratio” for how often men and
women should be portrayed in news images on social media. Yes, the U.S. population is divided nearly in
half, male versus female. But, for example, all the representational coverage of professional football
teams would return results overwhelmingly dominated by male faces. Coverage of the U.S. Senate –
currently 25% female – might do the same. In addition, the analysis did not address whether the content
of the news stories that accompanied the images was more focused on men or women.
The analysis also reveals other ways that men are more prominent in news images on Facebook. In
photos that showed two or more people, men tend to outnumber women. And men’s faces take up more
space when shown, with the average male face being 10% larger than the average female face across all
photos with people.
