Answer 1

The best choice is: "Migration can spread cultural ideas to destination regions, but in recent eras it has had more of an effect on source regions."

Reason: Migration influences both origin and destination — migrants bring foods, languages, religions, and practices to new places and also send back ideas, money, and technologies. It rarely produces complete assimilation or no change at all. With modern communications, remittances, and return migration, migrants increasingly affect their home societies as well as host societies.
