Explanation:

- Adaptation: This involves adjusting or changing to better fit a new environment or situation. It's more about personal or group change without merging into another culture.

- Accommodation: This is about making concessions or adjustments to coexist, which can happen between different groups but doesn't imply merging with the dominant culture.

- Assimilation: This is the process where a minority or marginalized culture becomes absorbed into the dominant culture, losing distinctive cultural traits in the process.

- Acculturation: This involves adopting cultural traits or social patterns from another group. It allows for more mutual influence without necessarily losing one's original culture.
