Social  norms  are  the  unwritten  rules  of  beliefs,  attitudes,  and  behaviors  that  are    acceptable  in  a  particular  social  group  or  culture.  Norms  provide  us  with  an    idea  of  how  to  behave,  and    to  provide  order  and  predictability  in  society.  For  example,  we  expect  students  to  arrive  to  a  lesson  on  time  and    their  work.

Correct answer: considered

Explanation: The word 'considered' fits grammatically as it is the past participle form used in a passive construction, indicating that social norms are viewed or regarded in a certain way. Contextually, it aligns with the idea that these norms are perceived as acceptable by a social group.

Meaning: 'Considered' means regarded or deemed in a particular way, in this case, as acceptable.

Wrong options:

  • required: The word 'required' suggests something that must be done, which does not fit the context of norms being viewed as acceptable.
  • complete: The word 'complete' implies finishing something, which does not relate to the acceptance of norms.
  • function: The word 'function' refers to the purpose or role of something, which does not fit the context of describing norms as acceptable.
  • imagined: The word 'imagined' suggests something that is not real or is a fantasy, which does not apply to the concept of social norms being accepted.
  • demand: The word 'demand' implies a necessity or strong request, which does not align with the idea of norms being considered acceptable.
Correct answer: expected

Explanation: The term 'expected' fits grammatically as it describes the idea of norms providing a standard for behavior. Contextually, it indicates that norms set a standard for how individuals should act within a group.

Meaning: 'Expected' means anticipated or regarded as likely to happen, particularly in terms of behavior.

Wrong options:

  • required: The word 'required' indicates something that is mandatory, which does not fit the context of providing an idea of behavior.
  • complete: The word 'complete' suggests finishing something, which does not relate to the concept of behavior expectations.
  • function: The word 'function' refers to the role or purpose of something, which does not fit the context of describing an idea of behavior.
Correct answer: function

Explanation: The word 'function' serves as a noun that describes the role of norms in society. It fits grammatically and contextually as it indicates that norms serve a purpose in maintaining order and predictability.

Meaning: 'Function' refers to the role or purpose that something serves, in this case, the role of norms in society.

Wrong options:

  • complete: The word 'complete' suggests finishing something, which does not relate to the function of norms in society.
  • expected: The word 'expected' describes anticipation, which does not fit as a noun to describe the role of norms.
Correct answer: complete

Explanation: The word 'complete' fits grammatically as it is an infinitive verb that describes the action students are expected to take regarding their work. Contextually, it aligns with the expectation of students fulfilling their responsibilities.

Meaning: 'Complete' means to finish or fulfill something, in this case, their work.

Wrong options:

  • required: The word 'required' suggests something that must be done, which does not fit the context of describing the action of completing work.
