All the others are correct.
1. The counterculture that arose with Baby Boomers during the 1960s can be identified by several characteristics. To find the exception, we need to look at each option:
a. "Don't trust anyone over 30": This phrase was popularized by the counterculture and reflected their rejection of older generations' values and authority.
b. Woodstock: Woodstock was a famous music festival that epitomized the counterculture movement.
c. Run for public office: This option is the exception, as running for public office is not typically associated with counterculture movements. Instead, counterculture movements often sought to challenge existing political systems and institutions. Therefore, the correct answer is c. Run for public office.
2. To understand how the counterculture affected American society, we need to assess each option:
a. Younger Americans were more willing to question authority than their parents before them: This option accurately reflects the impact of the counterculture movement, as it promoted questioning and challenging authority.
b. Americans refused to do drugs or other illegal activities: This option is not representative of the counterculture movement, as it was characterized by experimentation with drugs and other unconventional activities.
