QUESTION 44

Attained by a person through birth

Explanation:

The term ascribed status is used in sociology to describe an assigned social position - a position that wasn't earned or chosen. A person is assigned this type of status at birth or involuntarily later in life. For example, a person can't choose their gender or race. It's something they're born with and can't change.

The opposite of this is an achieved status - a social position a person takes on voluntarily that reflects their ability and merit. A person can choose what they're going to be in life, e.g. be a writer or a lawyer.
