B) By ignoring cultural influences
C) By advocating for cultural exchange
D) By promoting cultural understanding

Answer 1

Led Zeppelin's assimilation of selected ideas from non-Western music can raise concerns of cultural appropriation if they ignore cultural influences, but can also be respectful and promote cultural understanding through honoring diverse traditions and advocating for cultural exchange.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cultural appropriation is the improper or disrespectful use of a meaningful element of a culture or identity outside of its intended cultural context by someone who is not a part of that culture or identity. When Led Zeppelin assimilated selected ideas from non-Western music, it can raise concerns of cultural appropriation if they ignore the cultural influences and fail to respect and honor diverse traditions. The key to avoiding cultural appropriation is to promote cultural understanding and advocate for cultural exchange, rather than using elements of another culture for exploitative or capitalist gain.
