Answer 1

Answer:

A. her in-group

Explanation:

in group refers to a form of bias that make a person think that all members of a certain social group are 'Better' compared to other embers of social group. Generally, people formed a perception of an in-group based on a characteristic that they desire (maybe social status, interest , a certain skill set, physical traits, etc.)

In the example above, Lydia  perceive drama gecks to be the best social groups because they shared similar interest with Lydia (which is the love of theatre) . It fits the definition of an in-group.
