1. Definitely a & b, but I'm not sure about c & d. If you were in the country of the other culture, it might be considered rude to exercise c & d.
2. I haven't heard of the contact hypothesis, but I would assume:
a & b [school = same environment] = no, because you would become immersed in their culture, & [hopefully] learn & accept?
c = yes
d = unsure. If you're easily influenced, maybe prejudices would increase to keep up with your peers.
3. I'm not sure, I doubt it's a or b, so maybe c.
