Step 1: Define the word "Clique''
A "clique'' is a small, close-knit group of people who share interests and often exclude others.
Step 2: Eliminate other options
- "Crew'': A group of people working together, especially on a ship or aircraft.
- "Assembly'': A group of people gathered together in one place for a common purpose.
- "Congregation'': A group gathered for religious worship.
Only "Clique'' matches the definition of a small, selective group with shared interests.
