A cultural universal is an example of?:

  1. An outcome of a particular culture

  2. A trait or behavior shared by all cultures

  3. Something found in only a few cultures

  4. Behavior adopted by particular people

The correct answer is: A trait or behavior shared by all cultures

A cultural universal is a trait, behavior, or practice that is shared by all cultures around the world, regardless of their geographical location or historical origins. Option A is incorrect because it refers to a specific outcome of a culture rather than a universal trait. Option C is incorrect because a cultural universal is not limited to only a few cultures, but is found in all cultures. Option D is incorrect because a universal trait is not simply adopted by particular people, but rather is shared by all people within a particular culture. Therefore, option B is the best answer as it accurately describes a cultural universal.
