a total institution can be defined as:

Explanation:

For the first question, an aggregate is a collection of people who are in the same place at the same time but have no significant social interaction or shared identity. Sandy is just part of a large crowd waiting for concert - tickets, fitting the definition of an aggregate. A dyad is a group of two people, a triad of three, and an in - group implies a sense of belonging and shared identity which isn't the case here.
For the second question, reference groups are groups to which an individual compares himself or herself for self - evaluation, attitude formation, etc. The other options do not match the standard sociological definition of reference groups.

Answer:

Question 8: C. Aggregate
Question 9: A. Groups to which an individual compares himself or herself.
