Which term describes a person who seeks protection in another country to escape danger in their own country?

• A. Rebellion
• B. Refugee
• C. Self-Government
• D. Conquest

Answer: (B)

Seeking protection in another country because of danger at home describes a refugee. A refugee is someone who flees war, persecution, or violence and cannot safely stay in their country, often seeking asylum where they hope to be safe. This differs from someone who moves mainly to improve their life (a migrant) and from actions or political processes that don’t describe a person seeking safety. The other terms refer to fighting against authority (rebellion), governing oneself (self-government), or taking land by force (conquest), not to a person fleeing danger.
