[amp_mcq option1=”Sexism : Chauvinism” option2=”Parochialism : Linguism” option3=”Nationalism : Identity” option4=”Communalism : Religion” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: A. Sexism : Chauvinism
Racism is a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Apartheid is a system of racial segregation that existed in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. It was based on the belief that white people were superior to black people, and it resulted in the separation of the races in all aspects of life.
Sexism is a belief that one sex is superior to the other. Chauvinism is a form of sexism that is characterized by a belief in the superiority of men and a corresponding prejudice against women.
Parochialism is a narrow-minded attitude that is limited to one’s own local area or community. Linguism is a belief that one’s own language is superior to all others.
Nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of a nation’s culture, history, and language. Identity is a person’s sense of who they are, including their personal characteristics, beliefs, and values.
Communalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of a community’s shared values and interests. Religion is a belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
In each of the incorrect options, the two words do not have the same relationship as the original pair of words. For example, in option B, parochialism is a narrow-minded attitude that is limited to one’s own local area or community, while linguism is a belief that one’s own language is superior to all others. These two words do not have the same relationship as racism and apartheid, which are both forms of discrimination based on race.
