Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A student committee on improving campus meal plans would be classified as a secondary group because they are a formal, goal-oriented group that is temporary and task-oriented. The other options (roommates, friends, and coworkers) are more likely to be classified as primary groups because they are more personal and long-term.
