Solution
Answer
The answer is some statuses have more social prestige and honor than others.
Explanation
Option 1: Some statuses do not have roles associated with them.
This option is incorrect because, in a status hierarchy, each status typically has roles associated with it. Roles are the behaviors expected from someone who holds a particular status.
Option 2: Some statuses have more social prestige and honor than others.
This option is correct. In a status hierarchy, different statuses are ranked based on the social prestige and honor they carry. For example, in many societies, the status of a doctor or a judge is often considered to have higher prestige than other occupations.
Option 3: All statuses are of low social prestige.
This option is incorrect because it suggests that no status carries high prestige, which contradicts the concept of a hierarchy where some statuses are inherently more prestigious than others.
Option 4: All statuses have the same social prestige.
This option is incorrect because it negates the idea of a hierarchy. A hierarchy implies a ranking system where some statuses are more prestigious than others, not that all are equal.
