No. I've checked two of your guesses. You're on your own now. Please do not post this question again.

To determine the correct answer, let's break down each option and see if it applies to the formation of a social group.

a. Having a purpose - Yes, people often come together to form a social group with a common purpose or goal. This purpose could be anything from a hobby, a cause, or an activity.

b. Sharing certain role expectations - Yes, people in a social group often have shared expectations about the roles each member should fulfill. These roles can define responsibilities and contribute to the functioning of the group.

c. Attaching importance to what they're doing together - Yes, people in a social group usually place importance on the activities or objectives they are engaged in together. This shared significance can help create a sense of collective identity and motivation.

d. Beginning to feel special in contrast with others - Yes, as a social group develops, members may start to feel a sense of belonging and identity that makes them feel special compared to others who are not part of the group.

Based on the above analysis, it is evident that all the options (a, b, c, and d) are factors that contribute to the formation of a social group. Therefore, the correct answer is e. "all of the above."
