To check your answers, let's go through each question one by one:

1) Which of the following is a cultural exchange that the people of Japan have taken part in?
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider which option represents a cultural exchange. Cultural exchange refers to the sharing and diffusion of cultural practices, beliefs, or products between different societies. Let's assess each option:

A) Japanese martial arts have become popular around the world
This option suggests that Japanese martial arts have been adopted and practiced by people from different cultures. Since martial arts, such as karate, judo, and Aikido, originated in Japan and have indeed become globally popular, this is a cultural exchange.

B) Japanese government-style has been adapted by many other nations
This option refers to the adaptation of the Japanese government style by other countries. Although Japan's government system might have influenced or inspired some elements of other governments, it does not represent a significant cultural exchange.

C) The Shinto religion is popular around the world
Shinto is an indigenous religion of Japan and is not widely practiced outside the country, so this option does not reflect a cultural exchange.

D) Japanese movies are seen throughout the world
If Japanese movies are watched and enjoyed by people from different cultural backgrounds, it can be considered a cultural exchange.

Based on this analysis, options A and D represent cultural exchanges. Therefore, your answer, indicating that A) Japanese martial arts have become popular around the world and D) Japanese movies are seen throughout the world, is correct.

2) Which of the following caused a severe economic crisis in Japan during the 1990s?
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the reason behind the economic crisis in Japan during the 1990s. Let's assess each option:

A) Taxes were too high
Although taxation policies can impact an economy, high taxes alone do not typically cause severe economic crises.

B) Bad bank practices caused a recession
This option suggests that poor banking practices contributed to the economic crisis. In the 1990s, Japan faced a financial crisis primarily caused by bad loans and non-performing assets of banks, so this option is correct.

C) Too many workers went on strike
While widespread strikes can potentially impact an economy, they are not a primary cause of a severe economic crisis.

D) Trade embargoes increased
An increase in trade embargoes could affect a country's economy, but it is not a specific cause of the economic crisis in Japan during the 1990s.

Based on this analysis, your answer, indicating that B) Bad bank practices caused a recession, is correct.

3) Trade between Japan and Korea is based on
To determine the correct answer, we need to assess the nature of trade between Japan and Korea. Let's evaluate each option:

A) Output
Trade based on output implies that it is focused on the amount and quantity of goods produced. However, this does not accurately represent the nature of trade between Japan and Korea.

B) Interdependence
Interdependence refers to countries relying on each other for mutual benefit. Since Japan and Korea have significant trade ties and rely on each other's economies for various products and services, this accurately describes the nature of trade between the two countries.

C) Comparative advantage
The concept of comparative advantage refers to each country focusing on producing goods or services in which it has a relative advantage over others. While comparative advantage plays a role in trade, it does not specifically define Japan-Korea trade.

D) Scarcity
Trade based on scarcity typically involves exchanging goods or services that are rare or limited. While scarcity may affect certain goods or resources, it does not capture the overall nature of trade between Japan and Korea.

Based on this analysis, your answer indicating that B) Interdependence is the basis for trade between Japan and Korea is correct.

Well done! Your answers are correct for all three questions.
