Answer 2

What does your teacher mean by "alternative"?

Alternative just means different.

The question is too vague.

Does he mean 'opposite' or 'another type of assimilation'?

If the teacher is looking for opposite of assimilation, then the answer is (A).

if the teacher wants another type of assimilation, then the answer is (B) or possibly (D).

Answer 3

D.  

Stratification is an "alternative" to assimilation.  Assimilation in sociology is a merging of cultures, whereas stratification is to layer, or create divisive caste between cultures.

Answer 4

A. Pluralism is the coexistence of cultures without exogamy (out marriage).  Assimilation is when minority cultures take on many of the characteristics of the majority culture, while the majority culture takes on a small part of a minority culture.
