To determine how many different combinations of 4 movies Rafael can rent with at least one documentary involved, we can use the concept of combinations from combinatorics. The total number of ways to choose 4 movies from 31 total films (16 documentaries and 15 foreign films) is one part of the calculation. However, since Rafael wants at least one documentary, we should exclude the combinations where there are no documentaries at all. So, first, we calculate the total number of ways to pick any 4 movies, then subtract the number of ways to choose 4 movies that are all foreign films. Let's do the calculations step by step: 1. Calculate the total number of combinations of 4 movies he can rent from 31 films. 2. Calculate the number of combinations of 4 movies he can rent that are all foreign films. 3. Subtract the all-foreign-film combinations from the total combinations to get the number of combinations with at least one documentary. Rafael can rent 30,100 different combinations of 4 movies if he wants at least one documentary among his selections.

Which statement best describes the key changes in perspectives on inclusion? An inclusive program must consider the unique experiences of every child and family as well as the child's strengths and needs. There is a shift in thinking about individual programs as "inclusive programs" to thinking about inclusion as something that reflects the cultural influence of the family. There is a greater emphasis on barriers to full participation and the acknowledgement that all children are unique and must be fully and meaningfully engaged in a program. In an inclusive program all participants are accepted by their peers and other members of the community.
