Alazae Westry · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The term tourist curriculum refers to an educational approach that superficially explores different cultures through their artifacts, foods, and festivals, rather than engaging deeply with the lived experiences and perspectives of people from those cultures. In this scenario, the focus on lo mein, tea, and fortune cookies without deeper engagement with the cultural significance or the lived experiences of Chinese people exemplifies a tourist curriculum.
