Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to 
each of the questions from 30 to 34. 
 Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to 
determine where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to 
place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the 
library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the 
unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on. 
 The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. 
Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of 
social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing 
other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those 
of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some 
of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly. 
 A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose 
style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of 
a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, 
our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook. Having made a choice 
within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we 
tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statues too come ready made, and the 
range of choice among them is limited.
