Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The assumption of multiple roles results in conflicts because the individual roles require time and behavioral modes that may conflict with each other. For example, the behaviors that a self-directed businessman may find useful in running a successful business may conflict with being the obedient son or caring husband.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The society in which the role is assumed delegates the value or status of that role. In some societies, advanced age is valued and given high status; in others, advanced age is not given status and the role is negative.
