Answer
Correct Answer: a, d, e, c, b
Explanation
Introduction / Context:This ordering uses social aggregation: individuals cluster into families; families into communities; communities constitute villages and cities.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Member (individual) is the atomic unit.
- Family is the smallest stable social group.
- Community spans multiple families.
- Settlements: village then city (broader scale).
Concept / Approach:Order by increasing scope/scale.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Members (a) → Family (d) → Community (e) → Village (c) → City (b).Verification / Alternative check:Consistent with common civics/GE reasoning items.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They invert aggregation (e.g., placing city before family).
Common Pitfalls:Confusing community with administrative units.
Final Answer:a, d, e, c, b
