What is the term used to describe an individual’s position and role in a particular social group?

Identity
Status
Interaction
Culture

The correct answer is: Status

Status is the appropriate term used to describe an individual's position and role in a particular social group as it indicates the level of importance and influence that a person holds within that group. Identity refers to a person's distinct characteristics and qualities, rather than their role within a group. Interaction, while important in shaping one's status, refers to the action of communicating and engaging with others. And culture is a broader term that encompasses the beliefs, values, and behaviors shared by a group of people.
