Which group is described as rich, associated with social clubs, and seen hanging out at The Way Out and Rusty's?

• A. Socs
• B. Greasers
• C. Gang
• D. Outsiders

Answer: (A)

In The Outsiders, the distinction between Socs and Greasers is all about class and social life. The group described as rich and tied to social circles is the Socs—the Socials. They come from wealthier families, are portrayed as having fashionable clothes and nice cars, and they move in social, club-like circles. That’s why they’re associated with social clubs and are seen hanging out at places like The Way Out and Rusty’s. Greasers, by contrast, are the poorer, more street-oriented group and aren’t described in connection with upscale social clubs. The other terms aren’t used to name a distinct, wealth-based group in this context.
