One of the predictable difficulties you can expect to A) encounter B) counter when you go to a different country to study or work is language. But difficulties may also result from A) culture B) cultural differences, which are often less A) conscious B) obvious at first and can be unexpected. A Dutch academic was one of the first persons to propose an A) influential B) dire theory of cultural A) diversity B) division. The correct sequence should be:

ABABA

ABBAA

AABBA

ABABB

Explanation:

1st- 'encounter' means to come across whereas 'counter' means to speak or act against something. so encounter is the right pick.

2nd- We would use 'cultural' instead of 'culture' because it is an adjective and is more suitable to use as we need to describe the quality of the differences.

3rd- We would pick 'obvious' because 'conscious' means to be aware of your surroundings which is not what the passage meant.

4th- we would use ' Influential' which means to something that influences many people because 'dire' means extremely urgent and we don't have any urgency mentioned.

5th- we would choose 'Diversity' rather than 'division' because division means to divide or to separate while diversity means have separate unique identities.
