Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The encounters mentioned in the sentence refer to interactions with formal organizations like hospitals, schools, and banks, which are all examples of formal organizations. Therefore, B is the best choice. Primary groups are small social groups in which an individual interacts with other individuals on a personal, face-to-face basis, and coercive organizations refer to institutions that use force or threats to control members (such as prisons). Government agencies may be encountered during a human biography, but not all encounters involve government agencies.
