Answer: a melting of cultures and intermarriage

Explanation: implies both a melting of cultures and intermarriage of ethnicities, yet cultural assimilation or acculturation can also occur without intermarriage. Thus African-Americans are fully culturally integrated into American culture and institutions.

Answer:

The correct answer is B: immigrants to the United States coming together to create American culture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ''melting pot'' is an anthropological term that is used to refer to the situation where a great amount of people inmigrate to a new country and in this way the culture inside that nation becomes heterogeneous at first but later it comes together as one, becoming a more homogeneous culture, creating a multi-ethnic society.
