Question

Which of the following statements is/are NOT linked to crowd behaviour in a mass gathering? A. Scrumble to get event tickets, B. Tussle to get a glimpse/autograph of a celebrity, C. Mad rush to leave a school, D. Communication Delays, E. Unruly and irresponsible crowd behaviour.

• A. A Only
• B. B and D Only
• C. D Only
• D. C and E Only

Hint:

Crowd behaviour means what people do in a crowd. Communication delay is a management issue, not a direct crowd behaviour.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Crowd behaviour in mass gatherings refers to actions and reactions of people in crowded places. These behaviours may include pushing, rushing, panic movement, irresponsible actions, and competition for access.

Step 1: Check crowd-related actions.
Scramble to get event tickets is a crowd behaviour because people compete for access.
Tussle to get a glimpse or autograph of a celebrity is also crowd behaviour.
Mad rush to leave a school is also a collective crowd movement.
Unruly and irresponsible crowd behaviour is directly related to crowd behaviour. \[ A, B, C, E = \text{Crowd behaviour} \]

Step 2: Identify what is not crowd behaviour.
Communication delays are not a behaviour of the crowd. They are a management or communication problem. \[ D = \text{Not directly crowd behaviour} \]

Step 3: Select the correct option.
Only D is not linked directly to crowd behaviour. Therefore, the correct answer is D Only.
