Solution

The correct answers are:

  • Caste membership correlates with income levels.
  • Caste membership is determined at birth.
  • Marriages are typically between members of the same caste.

Explanation:

  • Caste membership is not an achieved status. It is ascribed, meaning it is determined by birth and not by individual achievements.
  • Caste membership often correlates with income levels. This is because certain castes have traditionally been associated with certain occupations, some of which are more lucrative than others.
  • Caste membership is determined at birth. You are born into a caste and it remains your caste for life.
  • Marriages are typically between members of the same caste. This is known as endogamy. It is considered socially unacceptable in many societies for individuals to marry outside their caste.
