Question

Dr. Ramirez is a sociology professor, and while he makes much less money than doctors and lawyers, he is viewed as having relatively high prestige because of:
a.his professional clothing.
b.his education.
c.his work hours.
d.his publications.

Answer 1

Answer: Because of his EDUCATION.

Explanation: Prestige as defined by the Oxford learner's dictionary is the respect and admiration that somebody/something has because of their social position, or what they have done. In this case, prestige is defined as the amount of money one has. What one has done and social position isn't a factor of money. Dr Ramirez is viewed as having a high prestige due to the level of his education.
