Question 2

Accepted Answer

Sex refers to biological differences between males and females, such as reproductive organs and chromosomes. Gender, on the other hand, refers to the socially constructed roles and behaviors assigned to individuals based on their perceived sex. Therefore, sex is biologically defined, while gender is socially defined. Option A is incorrect because sex is biologically defined, not gender. Option B is incorrect because it oversimplifies the distinction between sex and gender. Option D is incorrect because it refers to Weber's distributive system model, which is not relevant to the relationship between sex and gender.

Accepted Answer

An authoritative parenting style encourages independence and exploration while also providing structure and guidance.

The minority group is often disadvantaged due to discrimination, prejudice, and systemic barriers, while the dominant group benefits from privilege and power.
