Explanation:

• First statement: From a functionalist perspective, instrumental leadership is task - oriented, and expressive leadership provides emotional support. So the first statement is false.
• Second statement: In times of crisis, authoritarian leaders are often commended for decisive actions (as they can act quickly without much deliberation), while democratic leaders may face criticism for slower decision - making processes (due to the need for consensus). So the second statement is false.
• Third statement: A secondary group (more formal, goal - oriented, less personal) or an aggregate (a collection of people in the same place at the same time with no real group identity) can develop more personal, close - knit relationships over time and become a primary group (characterized by close, intimate, long - term relationships). So the third statement is true.
