Which feature of urban society develops as a result of people from diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds converging and living together in cities?

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Social heterogeneity

Social heterogeneity refers to a society made up of people with diverse cultural, ethnic, religious, and social backgrounds living together.

Cities, which draw migrants and residents from many different regions and communities, naturally develop this diversity as a defining characteristic of urban society.

Cultural uniformity, social solidarity, and normative rigidity all describe forms of sameness or cohesion, which is the opposite of what emerges from this kind of diverse convergence.
