Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question.
The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia region. Although Vietnam lies
geographically in Southeast Asia, long periods of Chinese domination and influence has resulted in the
emergence of many East Asian characteristics in Vietnamese culture, and generally Vietnam is said to be a
part of the East Asian cultural sphere, known widely as Chinese cultural sphere.

Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to retain many
distinct customs. While Chinese culture has the largest influence on traditional Vietnamese
culture, there is also a much smaller influence from the Cham and later Western cultures, most
notably of France, Russia and the United States. In term of prehistory, most Vietnamese
historians consider the ancient Dong Son Culture to be one of the defining aspects of early
Vietnamese civilization.
Vietnam's population in 2006 was 84,402,966, with a population density of 253 people per km2
. Most people live in or near the densely populous Red River or Mekong deltas. Due to the nation's
southward expansion throughout its history, along with the different climate and environment met by
the settlers as they moved further south, slightly different regional cultures began to emerge, most
notably between Northern and Southern Vietnam.
