Question

please select the word from the list that best fits the definition
an emotionally charged group whose members are united by a specific, and often destructive, goal.
crowd
panic
public
mob
fad
rumor

Explanation:

A mob is an emotionally charged group. Members of a mob are united by a specific goal. This goal is often destructive. For example, in historical events, mobs have formed with goals like rioting (a destructive act). A crowd is just a large group of people in one place (no specific goal emphasis). Panic is a feeling of extreme fear (not a group). Public is a general term for people (not an emotionally - charged group with a specific goal). A fad is a temporary fashion (not a group). Rumor is false information (not a group).

Answer:

mob
