Question

As a child, Mira was taught to interact only with people from the same social standing as her. When she grew up, she was married into a family similar to hers in race and background. Which of the following systems of social stratification does this scenario illustrate?

Answer 1

Answer:

Caste system

Explanation:

The social stratification which is differentiated according to hereditary transmission, endogamy, rituals and social interactions is called a caste.
