(A) The problems faced by leaders (B) How leadership differs in small and large groups (C) How social groups determine who will lead them (D) The role of leaders in social groups 56 The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT (A) recruitment (B) formal election process (C) specific leadership training (D) traditional cultural patterns 57 In mentioning “natural leaders” in lines 8-9, the author is making the point that (A) few people qualify as “natural leaders” (B) there is no proof that “natural leaders” exist (C) “natural leaders’ are easily accepted by the members of a social group (D) “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristics 58.Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?
