Answer
Correct Answer: C, A, D, B, E
Explanation
Introduction / Context:This sequencing item checks your understanding of how social units aggregate from the individual to larger civic structures.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- C = Member (an individual).
- A = Family (basic social unit).
- D = Locality (neighborhood/area).
- B = Community (broader social body within/over multiple localities).
- E = Country (largest unit listed).
Concept / Approach:We assemble units by scale: individual → family → immediate habitat → broader civic grouping → nation.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Start with the individual: C.Immediate social unit: A (Family).Geographic grouping: D (Locality).Broader social grouping: B (Community).Largest political unit in list: E (Country).Verification / Alternative check:Replacing D and B reverses geographical/organizational aggregation; the presented order is the natural expansion.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- C,A,B,D,E: Swaps locality and community scale.
- Other orders break the size escalation or place country prematurely.
- None of these: Not applicable since a clear hierarchy exists.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing “community” with a tiny neighborhood; communities usually span or organize multiple localities.
Final Answer:C, A, D, B, E
