Question

Choice of membership in particular cliques and crowds is often determined by the degree of ___________ within members of the group.

Answer 1

The correct answer is the degree of similarity between group members. 

Members of a group who share similar preferences, beliefs and values are more likely to have a unanimous opinion on whom, should and should not belong to their group or clique. For instance, in a high school, a clique or group of cheerleaders who have lunch together everyday are unlikely to let in a non-cheerleader who plays in jazz band into their group.
