Which term is used to describe prejudice or discrimination against a religious group?

• A. Anti-Semitism
• B. Appeasement
• C. Bank Run
• D. Battle of Midway

Answer: (A)

Prejudice or discrimination against a religious group is captured by anti-Semitism. It refers specifically to hostility toward Jews as a group, whether in beliefs, attitudes, or actions, and can show up as stereotypes, social exclusion, or violence. This term helps explain why biased treatment toward Jewish people has appeared across different times and places, and it’s used to discuss and challenge such bias in history and society. The other terms describe unrelated concepts—appeasement is about yielding to aggression, a bank run is a financial panic, and the Battle of Midway was a World War II naval battle—so they don’t fit as descriptions of religious prejudice.
