Which term describes the social division based on nationality, language, and related characteristics?

• A. Gender
• B. Ethnicity
• C. Race
• D. Chain of Command

Answer: (B)

Ethnicity refers to a social grouping based on shared nationality, language, culture, and other cultural traits. People in the same ethnic group identify with common heritage, traditions, and ways of life, which create a sense of belonging and distinct social identity. This differs from race, which is more about physical characteristics and broad categorizations; gender, which relates to identity and social roles; and a chain of command, which is an organizational hierarchy rather than a social group based on cultural background.
