Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dunphy defines cliques as small groups of same-sex individuals who share intimate and frequent interactions, and tend to exclude others from their social circle. Bobby, Mike, George, and Derrick fit this definition as they have a close-knit group of friends who have shared their lives since they were 12 years old. Options A, B, and C do not fit the definition of a clique as they involve relationships that are not necessarily exclusive or same-sex specific.
