Questions 16 to 20 are on the following passage:

Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there
is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where
people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this
is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society, There are more ideas, more
disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations
with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater
worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies.
All these factors tend to promote social change by opening
more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are
quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for
people to see the need or the opportunity for change because
everything seems to be the same. And although conditions
may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.

Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more
frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the
culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology
rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life
rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and
less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites;
in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones;
in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are
acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.

Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual.
For example, it comes readily on human relations on a
continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies.
This is one reason why change has not come more quickly
to black Americans as compared to other American
minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance
between them and their white counterparts.
