High School

Which of the following is not likely to operate as a master status?

A. Being pretty average in relation to others around you
B. Being the only Asian student in an elementary school classroom
C. Being the only girl on a Little League team
D. Being poor on a campus in which almost all students are well off financially

Answer :

Final answer:

a) being pretty average in relation to others around you

Being pretty average in relation to others around you is not likely to operate as a master status.

Explanation:

A master status is a status that is so important that it overrides all other statuses a person may have. It defines how a person is viewed by society and affects their interactions and opportunities. Out of the options given, being pretty average in relation to others around you (option a) is least likely to operate as a master status. While it may influence some aspects of a person's life, such as self-perception or comparisons with others, it does not have the same significant impact as being the only Asian student in a classroom, being the only girl on a Little League team, or being poor on a campus of financially well-off students.
