Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
(A) Family — this matches (III) Primary group. Primary groups are pre-existing formations usually given to the individual, such as family, caste and religion, with face-to-face interaction and warm emotional bonds.
(B) Membership of a club — this matches (IV) Secondary group. Secondary groups are those which the individual joins by choice, such as a political party or a club; relationships in them are more impersonal and it is easy to leave and join another.
(C) ‘We’ — this matches (II) Ingroup. The ingroup is one’s own group, and for ingroup members we use the word ‘we’.
(D) ‘They’ — this matches (I) Outgroup. The outgroup is another group, and for outgroup members the word ‘they’ is used.
NCERT (2025-26): “Primary and Secondary Groups … A major difference between primary and secondary groups is that primary groups are pre-existing formations which are usually given to the individual whereas secondary groups are those which the individual joins by choice. Thus, family, caste, and religion are primary groups whereas membership of a political party is an example of a secondary group.…” “Ingroup and Outgroup … The term ‘ingroup’ refers to one’s own group, and ‘outgroup’ refers to another group. For ingroup members, we use the word ‘we’ while for outgroup members, the word ‘they’ is used.…” |
