Arrange the social/administrative units from the smallest entity to the largest. Items: A. Family, B. Community, C. Member, D. Locality, E. Country.

Introduction / Context:These terms represent nested social or geographic units. A sensible sequence should begin with the individual and proceed through increasingly larger groupings/areas up to the nation.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Smallest unit: Member (individual).
• Immediate grouping: Family.
• Area grouping: Locality (neighborhood/ward).
• Broader social grouping: Community (collection of families within/around localities; social grouping larger than a single locality).
• Largest listed unit: Country.

Concept / Approach:We choose the containment path that increases scale monotonically. While “community” can be defined sociologically or geographically, in standard reasoning items it is treated as broader than a single locality (encompassing multiple neighborhoods or social groups across localities).

Step-by-Step Solution:Start with (C) Member → the basic individual unit.Then (A) Family → a household grouping of members.Next (D) Locality → the immediate neighborhood where families reside.Then (B) Community → a larger social grouping spanning local areas.Finally (E) Country → the national scale.

Verification / Alternative check:Check inclusions: families are made of members; localities contain many families; communities can span multiple localities; all exist within a country.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They place community before locality or country before community, breaking the small→large scaling.

Common Pitfalls:

• Interpreting “community” as smaller than a locality. For these standardized questions, community is taken as broader.

Final Answer:C, A, D, B, E.
