The noun 'Minderheit' translates to which English term?

• A. Minority
• B. Majority
• C. Group
• D. Segment

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is choosing the English term that accurately captures a smaller subgroup within a larger population. Minderheit specifically refers to a group that is not the majority, often used for ethnic, linguistic, religious, or other minority groups, or any smaller share in society.

The best answer is minority because it directly expresses that sense of being a smaller part of the whole and is the standard term used in contexts like “a minority group” or “minority rights.”

The other options don’t fit as well: Group is too general and doesn’t indicate size relative to the whole; Segment is a more technical or abstract division and not typically used to describe people; Majority is the opposite concept, referring to the larger part of the population.
