What does the term 'Inuit' mean?

  1. The land

  2. The people

  3. The spirit

  4. The Arctic

The correct answer is: The people

The term 'Inuit' refers to the indigenous people inhabiting the Arctic regions of Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Siberia. The other options, while they may have some connection to the Inuit culture and lifestyle, do not accurately define the term or fully encompass the rich history and traditions of the Inuit people. Option A, 'The land', may be a common misconception as the Inuit people have a deep connection to their land, but it does not define the term itself. Option C, 'The spirit', could be seen as a spiritual interpretation of the Inuit culture but it does not capture the full meaning of the term. Option D, 'The Arctic', is a geographical term and only describes the location of where the Inuit people live, but it does not fully explain the meaning of their name. Overall, option B is the most accurate and complete definition of the term 'Inuit'.
