Explanation:

• First question:
• George Herbert Mead's game stage is when children understand and consider the roles and expectations of multiple people in a social context (like in a game where they take on different positions and understand the rules and others' roles).
• The imitation stage is early, just mimicking. The preparatory stage is about taking on significant - other roles (like imitating mom or dad). Middle - age is not one of Mead's stages.
• Second question:
• Voluntary resocialization is when an individual chooses to change their norms, values, and behaviors. Joe decided to join the monastery (a choice) and will adopt new behaviors (silence, fasting).
• Forced resocialization is against one's will. Involuntary is also not by choice. Anticipatory is preparing for a future role (not yet in the role as in this case).

Answer:

a. the game stage
d. voluntary resocialization
