Practice this question and more.

What is a type of behavior which is expected by a particular society or group?

Protocol
Custom
Norm
Tradition

The correct answer is: Norm

A norm is a type of behavior that is expected by a society or group. While protocol, custom, and tradition may also be expected behaviors, they are not necessarily specific to a particular society or group. Protocol can refer to proper procedures or etiquette in various settings, custom is a general term for practices within a culture, and tradition can encompass a wide range of beliefs or customs passed down through generations. Therefore, these options are not as specific to the question as "norm" is.
