Answer 1

Examples that demonstrate cultural diffusion:
- Explorers bring their religion to a new country.
- Workers migrate to a new home and share their music.
- Traders share their goods and ideas with a new community.

Why the others do not:
- Parents teaching their children about their heritage and students learning their community’s traditions are forms of cultural transmission within the same group (passing culture down), not diffusion to a different group.
