Answer 1

Achieved status is a concept developed by the anthropologist Ralph Linton for a social position that a person can acquire on the basis of merit and is earned or chosen. It is the opposite of ascribed status and reflects personal skills, abilities, and efforts.

Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION C: Class.

• In sociology, attributed status refers to a person's social status.
• It is either given to them when they are born or adopted later in life.
• The status of a person is an unearned and unchosen position.
• Social and cultural norms, standards, and expectations define rank.
• These jobs are filled regardless of effort or preference.
• These rigid social designators are intrinsically linked to the favorable or bad perceptions associated with a person's social status, and they last a lifetime.
• People are classified into several groups in every community based on their gender, race, family origins, and ethnic backgrounds.
