What is an example of social stratification?

  1. Social interaction among groups

  2. The selection of a new president

  3. The ownership of resources

  4. The currency of a nation

The correct answer is: The ownership of resources

An example of social stratification would be the ownership of resources, such as land, money, or education. This is because social stratification refers to the unequal distribution of resources and opportunities among different groups in society. While social interaction among groups may contribute to social stratification, it is not a clear example on its own. The selection of a new president and the currency of a nation do not necessarily reflect social stratification as these are more political and economic processes.
