Answer:

Resocialization is particularly severe when individuals are severed from their previous relations with society, and their former identities are stripped away.

E: Entry into a total institution would lead to this more dramatic form of resocialization

Step-by-step explanation:

Resocialization is a process in which one is taught new customs, rules, and traditions that would help them transit from one social role to another. It mainly takes place in single parent households or military boot-camps. This is done intensely by cutting off the people from the outside community/world for a given time, i.e. by total institution.

The goal of total institutions is resocialization. It brings in changes in the personalities of people by purposely controlling their environment. Another example of resocialization is re-socializing newly hired into the military so that they can work as soldiers. So, option E is the correct answer.
