If you're multiracial -- how do you identify yourself? I once had a student who had Asian, African, and European ancestry.

Okay Thanks

You're welcome.

To find the answer to question 1, we can eliminate the options that don't fit the definition. Socioeconomic group and retirement goals are not related to a person's ethnicity. National or cultural heritage, on the other hand, refers to a person's background and ancestry, which is closely tied to their ethnicity. Religious affiliation is a separate aspect of a person's identity and may not necessarily align with their ethnicity. Therefore, the correct answer is national or cultural heritage.

To find the answer to question 2, we need to know which state Texas surpassed in population in 1994 to become the second most populous state in the country. We can eliminate options California, Florida, and Pennsylvania since they are not the correct answer. The correct answer is New York because Texas surpassed it in population in 1994.

To find the answer to question 3, we need to understand the consequence of the population increase in Texas according to the 2000 census. The options state that Texas gained another senator, gained two members in the House of Representatives, qualified for more federal aid, or gained another judge on the Supreme Court. Out of these options, gaining two members in the House of Representatives is the correct answer. The number of congressional representatives is determined by the population, and with the increase in population, Texas gained additional congressional seats.

To find the answer to question 4, we need to know what new option people had when answering the 2000 census. The options state that people were allowed to skip the ethnicity section, skip the income section, select more than one category in the ethnicity section, or share their party affiliation. The correct answer is that people were asked to share their party affiliation for the first time in the 2000 census. This means they were given the opportunity to indicate their political party preference when filling out the census.
