Answer 1

The best answer to describe popular culture is A. "cultural patterns that can change quickly and that are accepted by the majority of the people." This definition captures the idea that popular culture is constantly evolving and reflects the values, interests, and behaviors of a large segment of society. It also acknowledges that popular culture is not limited to a single dominant culture, but can be found across different cultural groups and regions.

Option B is not an accurate definition of popular culture, as it implies that it only exists within a dominant culture and that it defines the people. This definition is too narrow and does not reflect the diversity of popular culture.

Option C is also not an accurate definition of popular culture, as it defines a cultural group based on a region or location rather than cultural patterns or practices.

Option D is not an accurate definition of popular culture, as it suggests that a cultural region only focuses on one cultural trait, which is not necessarily true. Cultural regions can have multiple cultural traits that are unique to that region.
