Question

what is a negative aspect of cliques?
○ they give members a feeling of belonging.
○ they encourage individuality.
○ they connect people with similar interests.
○ they are exclusive.

Explanation:

To determine the negative aspect of cliques, we analyze each option:

• "They give members a feeling of belonging" is a positive aspect.
• "They encourage individuality" is incorrect as cliques often pressure conformity, not individuality.
• "They connect people with similar interests" is a positive social function.
• "They are exclusive" means cliques often exclude those not in the group, which is a negative trait as it creates social division and limits inclusion.

Answer:

D. They are exclusive.
