question 7 (2.5 points)
what is a social group according to sociologists?
a group of people who share a characteristic but do not interact or share a sense of belonging
a collection of people in the same place at the same time with little else in common
a collection of people who interact frequently and share a sense of belonging
an online community where people connect through shared interests and emotions

Explanation:

Sociologists define a social group as a collection of people who interact frequently and share a sense of belonging. Interaction and a sense of belonging are key elements. The first option lacks interaction and belonging. The second option only has a common location. The fourth option is too narrow (online - while social groups can be online, the definition isn't limited to that).

Answer:

C. A collection of people who interact frequently and share a sense of belonging
