Excluding someone from the community or group is called what?

Social Exclusion Isolation Exclusion Ostracism

Correct Answer:

Ostracism

Explanation:

Ostracism is the deliberate exclusion of someone from a group or community by others. It describes the social act of shunning—being ignored, left out of activities, or banished from the group—to signal that the person is not welcome. This focus on the group’s behavior toward a specific individual makes it a precise fit for the scenario. Isolation describes a state of being alone rather than an action by others, social exclusion is a broader term that can refer to marginalization beyond immediate groups, and exclusion is a general term for keeping someone out without specifying the social dynamics involved.
