The correct answers are:

- Likely to speak their nation's official language

Most of the people in the urban areas tend to speak the official language of the nation, mostly because it is necessary, though very often different ethnic groups have different accents and dialects so they find it hard to understand each other even while speaking the same language.

- Usually live in extended families

The birth rates are high, and traditionally in this part of the world, few generations live together int he same place, thus the extended families are a common thing.

- Come from many different ethnic groups

There's hundreds of different ethnic groups in this region, and since the urban areas are the most attractive for living, people from all different ethnic groups can be found in the same place.

- Often wear traditional clothing

Even though big portion of the people want to dress more modern, or in a Western manner, often they are poor, so they still tend to wear very often their own traditional clothing.
