Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Answer

When we think about social groups, we can arrange them based on how personal and emotionally connected they are. Primary groups, like close family and friends, are the most personal because they involve strong emotional bonds and intimate relationships. Next are secondary groups, such as coworkers or classmates, where connections are more about shared goals and less about personal feelings. Aggregate groups, like a crowd at a concert, involve people who are together but don’t really interact meaningfully, while category groups, such as all the people who wear glasses, are even less personal because they are based on a shared characteristic rather than interaction. For example, while you might feel deep connections with your family and friends, you likely don’t feel the same bond with people simply because you all enjoy the same type of music at a concert.

Detailed Explanation

Primary groups are close friends and family. Other options are incorrect because This mixes up the types; This suggests secondary groups are more personal than primary groups.
