Answer 1

The scenario that describes an effect of the diffusion of U.S. culture is:

"A person in Paris, France, takes their date to a fast-food restaurant for dinner."

This exemplifies the global spread of American fast-food culture, which is a recognizable aspect of U.S. cultural influence worldwide. American fast-food chains, such as McDonald's, Burger King, and KFC, have expanded into numerous countries across the globe, making the experience of eating at these establishments a part of everyday life in many places outside of the United States.

The other scenarios mentioned do not refer to the diffusion of U.S. culture:

- IKEA is a Swedish company, so while the availability of IKEA stores in multiple countries represents global diffusion of a brand, it is not related to American culture.
- An American student in Texas listening to K-pop represents the diffusion of South Korean culture into the United States.
- Indigenous people being forced to convert to Catholicism after the arrival of missionaries in the Columbian Exchange refers to a historical period of European colonialism and the spread of European, notably Spanish and Portuguese, cultural and religious practices, not specifically U.S. culture.
