The term “social role” refers to?:

  1. A form of government

  2. The power held by an elected leader

  3. Social behaviors expected by a particular group

  4. A physical position within a society

The correct answer is: Social behaviors expected by a particular group

A social role refers to the expected behaviors and actions that individuals are expected to perform within a particular group or society. This can include expectations for how one interacts with others, their responsibilities, and their social status. Options A, B, and D all refer to specific aspects such as forms of government, leadership, and physical positions, but they do not fully encompass the concept of social roles. Therefore, they are not the correct answer.
