Answer 1

In terms of PRIZM's categorization: 'Urban' are major cities with dense populations, 'Suburban' areas surround cities and are moderately dense, 'Second City' refers to less dense cities or satellites to major cities, and 'Town and Rural' indicates areas with low population density.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of urbanization, major social groups as categorized by PRIZM can be matched to their descriptions based on their population density and location relative to urban centers. Urban refers to major cities with highly dense populations, where the intense concentration of people often leads to unique social, political, and economic dynamics. Suburban areas are the communities surrounding metropolitan cities with moderately dense populations, typically residential and connected to cities through commuting. Second City denotes satellites to major cities or cities with less dense populations that may serve as hubs within their own region or as commuters' cities to larger metropolises. Lastly, town and rural areas describe communities with low population density, often characterized by expansive spaces and reliance on agricultural or local small-scale industries.
