Answer 1

Correct Ansewer: A college-age woman wants to withdraw from her sorority but fears the negative social repercussions and stigma that will follow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coercive organisation is one inwhich the organization has an undue influence on its members leading to the members being unable to do what the felt was within their rights freely. The undue influence could be directly or indirectly applied.

In the case of the college-age woman, she is in a coercive organisation because of her inablility to leave the organisation freely without any repercussion.

When she joied, it was out of her own free will. But, she might have seen negative practices that warranted her to leave but would not be able to do that freely.
