Answer: 1. is B. 2. is B. 3. is C and 4. is A

Group behavior is exactly what it sounds like; it is how all members of that group behave. Different groups have different values, so it would only be mankind's desire to be in one group.

For question number two, A. doesn't make sense for the question that is being asked. C. is literally the opposite of the question and D. is a reference to the "Three Little Pigs". So, the answer would be B.

The third answer is the answer because that is the one that BEST relates to the question.

Finally, for question 4. groups are based upon their values. Think about any group you know: I immediately thought about religious groups personally, so we will use them as an example. Each religion is different based upon one factor; their values. Every religion has core values that are different from each other.

Answer 1. c ) ( 2 a) (3 b ). (4 d)

Step-by-step explanation:

actions performed by a group as a whole or by individuals when part of a group. In the latter case, it applies particularly to those actions that are influenced (either directly or indirectly) by the group and are atypical of actions performed by the same individuals when alone.Some examples of group behavior is the murmuration of starlings, shoaling and schooling of fish, marching locusts and nest building ants.A group is defined as two or more people who interact and share a common identity, belief, purpose, or morals.Group behavior refers to the actions, thoughts, or feelings of a collection of people or individuals within a group.

Group behavior is often guided by a set of rules or regulations that may not always be the case for every individual within that group.

Group Behavior and Group Identity

Once we identify with a group, we begin to categorize ourselves within an ingroup and others in an outgroup. The tendency is to form an "us vs them" mentality and view outgroups as homogeneous and favor our ingroup.
