What is an example of a primary group?

  1. A classroom of students

  2. A national legislature

  3. An online gaming group

  4. A hospital staff

The correct answer is: A classroom of students

A. A classroom of students is an example of a primary group because it is a small, intimate group in which members interact frequently and on a personal level. This group shares a common purpose or goal, and members often have strong emotional bonds with one another. This is different from the other options as they are all larger and more loosely connected groups, such as a national legislature, an online gaming group, or a hospital staff where interactions may not be as personal or frequent.
