What does nationalism mean?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a National consciousness
  2. b National unity
  3. c National identity
  4. d National heritage
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b National unity

The book says nationalism is the national unity formed through language, tradition, culture and identity.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a National consciousness: Consciousness is part of it, but the book's definition is 'national unity'.
  • c National identity: Identity is one ingredient of the unity; nationalism is the unity itself.
  • d National heritage: Heritage is also just one ingredient; the definition is 'national unity'.
