Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The list of statuses that a person occupies at any given time is called the status set. It includes all of the statuses someone holds, such as student, son or daughter, employee, and citizen. The term "master status" refers to the most important or prominent status in a person's status set, but it is not the appropriate term for this particular question. The other choices ("total institution" and "set of others") are not relevant in this context.
