    Correct Answer
    A. Out group
    Explanation
    This question is asking whether the given scenario is an example of an in-group or an out-group. Since the answer provided is "out-group," we can infer that the scenario described is more likely to involve individuals who are perceived as being outside of a particular group or community. This suggests that the situation may involve individuals who are not part of the same social, cultural, or professional circle, and therefore are considered outsiders or a separate group.

    Master status refers to the social position that holds the greatest significance in shaping a person's life and determining their social identity. It is a status that can have a profound impact on an individual's interactions and relationships with others.

    Explanation
    The statement is true because in an informal group, there is no formal hierarchy or set rules.

    Conflict refers to a deliberate attempt to control a person by force, oppose someone, or harm another person. It involves a clash or disagreement between individuals or groups with opposing interests or goals. In a conflict, there is a struggle for power, resources, or dominance, which can result in tension, hostility, and negative consequences. Cooperation, on the other hand, implies working together towards a common goal, while competition involves striving to outperform others.

    • Reciprocal roles

    • Master schedule

    • Role expectations

    • Role performance

    Correct Answer
    A. Reciprocal roles
    Explanation
    The term "reciprocal roles" refers to the interdependent relationship between coaches and athletes, as well as between a mother and a child. In both cases, the roles of the coach and mother exist because of the existence of athletes and children respectively. This implies that coaches and athletes rely on each other for their roles to have meaning and purpose. Similarly, a mother's role is defined by the existence of her child. Therefore, the concept of reciprocal roles accurately captures the relationship between coaches and athletes, as well as between a mother and a child.
