true
false

Explanation:

• Question 4: Limited education opportunities are a consequence of poverty (due to lack of funds for education) and also perpetuate poverty (as education is key for better - paying jobs). Luxury goods access is not related to poverty. Over - consumption of resources is more of an issue in wealthy or wasteful societies. High societal expectations are not a direct consequence - perpetuator of poverty.
• Question 5: Durkheim believed deviance has functions in society such as clarifying norms (when a deviant act is punished, it shows what is acceptable) and promoting social unity (people come together against a deviant). So the statement that deviance only harms is false.
• Question 6: C. Wright Mills' power elite are those who have significant power (in politics, economy, military) and can manipulate societal rules for their benefit. So the statement is true.
• Question 7: Stereotypes are generalizations about groups, and age, race, and gender are common bases for stereotypes (e.g., "old people are slow", "all people of a certain race are good at a particular sport", "women are bad at math" - all of which are incorrect generalizations but examples of stereotypes based on these characteristics). So the statement is true.

• Question 4: C. Limited education opportunities
