Which term describes forcing people out of an area of a society?

• A. Expulsion
• B. Segregation
• C. Annihilation
• D. Age status

Answer: (A)

Forcing people out of an area of a society is expulsion. Expulsion means driving a group from a geographic area or removing them from their homes, usually by authorities or dominant groups, resulting in displacement from the community they once occupied. This focuses on removal from space rather than merely separating groups within the same area.

Segregation involves keeping groups apart within the same society, often in different facilities or neighborhoods, but they still live in the area. Annihilation means the destruction or elimination of a group, which is far more extreme than merely moving people. Age status isn’t about removing people from a place.
