Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Robert's status as a partner in the law firm is an achieved status because he has worked hard and put in a lot of hours to earn this position. It is not an ascribed status because he was not born into the position or given it based on his race, gender, or other innate characteristics. It is also not a set status because it is not predetermined or fixed, but rather a result of his own efforts and accomplishments. Public status is not applicable in this context.
