In which of the following is there neither any structure nor a feeling of belongingness?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Crowd
| Option | Reason |
|---|---|
| Option (1): Team. Incorrect. | A team is a special kind of group. Its members have complementary skills and a common goal and are mutually accountable, so it has a firm structure. |
| Option (2): Group. Incorrect. | A group has roles and norms that structure the interactions, and its members see themselves as belonging to it. |
| Option (3): Crowd. Correct. | A crowd collects by chance, as after a road accident. It has neither structure nor a feeling of belongingness, and its behaviour is irrational. |
| Option (4): Audience. Incorrect. | An audience is a collection of people who have assembled for a special purpose, such as watching a cricket match or a movie, and it is generally passive rather than structureless. |
