Question

A sociologist studies group formation among first-graders. He studies Mr. Hartman’s classroom, which is next door to Ms. Alexander’s classroom. The sociologist notices the presence of an out-group when Mr. Hartman’s first-graders say:a. "Mr. Hartman is the best teacher!"b. "We're the smartest students!"c. "Ms. Alexander's students are the worst!"(X)d. "First-graders rule!"

Answer 1

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms "in-group", "out-group" etc. belong in to the sciences of sociology or psychology and they indicate a group setting where some people are in line with the requirements of belonging in that group and some are not. The sociologist states that he/she is studying the first-graders and when we examine the options according to the out-group description above after reading the question, the first-graders would be providing an example of out-group if they said "Ms. Alexander's students are the worst!".

I hope this answer helps.
