Your short phrases are hardly enough to comment. I suspect your instructor wants to measure if you understand what the terms mean, and how they can be applied. Frankly, I would mark all the above wrong. A situation probably deserves at least a sentence, and many would need three sentences to adequately describe.
Your best is survey, but you described the instrument, not the situation. A situation might be...students are polarizing over perceived racial issues, and the school adminstration needs to guage these feelings and the causes, so a questionaire is sent to 50 random students.
