Explanation:

- Ruth Benedict was a famous American anthropologist who studied patterns of culture.

- She believed that cultures are not just random collections of traits, but have an internal consistency and arrangement.

- She used specific terms to describe how cultural elements come together:

- Option 1: Configuration: Benedict did use the term "configuration" to talk about unique arrangements in each culture, showing a kind of pattern or design.

- Option 2: Pattern: This term also fits, since Benedict often described how traits fit together into a distinctive "pattern" or whole style. Her famous book is "Patterns of Culture."

- Option 3: Laws: She did not emphasize rigid laws but more about general organization and recurring ways elements are put together.

- Option 4: Themes: While cultures can have specific themes, Benedict is best known for talking about larger patterns or configurations.

- Correct Answer: Option 2 - Pattern (Cultural integration is described as patterns of culture in her theory.)
