Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creating apartments and living suites that mix racial and ethnic groups is the best choice, as it allows students of different backgrounds to interact and get to know each other on a personal level, breaking down stereotypes and reducing prejudice. Assigning students to separate floors based on race or ethnicity (option A) can reinforce divisions and further contribute to prejudice. Option C allows for some interaction but still reinforces segregation, and option D may only attract students who are already interested in their own ethnic group, instead of promoting cross-cultural interaction.
