  • (A) Family: A family is the quintessential example of a (III) Primary group. Primary groups are typically small, characterized by intimate, face-to-face association and cooperation. They are fundamental in forming the social nature and ideals of the individual.

  • (B) Membership of a club: Membership in a club, especially a larger one, is generally a (IV) Secondary group. Secondary groups are larger, more impersonal, and often organized around a specific shared interest or goal. Interactions are often more formal and less emotionally charged than in primary groups.

  • (C) 'We': The term 'we' typically refers to one's own group, emphasizing a sense of belonging and shared identity. This is characteristic of an (II) Ingroup.

  • (D) 'They': The term 'they' refers to groups to which one does not belong, often implying a sense of distinction or even opposition. This is characteristic of an (I) Outgroup.
