Which one is not the main purpose of social indicators ?
Answer: D
The keyed answer is the communication function.
Social indicators are statistical measures of social conditions. The functions usually named for them are descriptive (showing the state of society and its trends), analytical (explaining relations between conditions) and monitoring or evaluative (tracking change and testing whether policies work). These three are options A, B and C.
Communication is not among the standard listed functions, so the key treats it as the one that is not a main purpose. I could not find a source that names a communication function for social indicators; reporting to the public is sometimes described as a use of indicators, so the keyed answer rests on the standard three-function list rather than on a source that rules communication out.
