No. Although both <span>people </span><span>and </span>peoples<span> are grammatically correct, they cannot be used interchangeably because they have different meanings.</span>

<span>Case 1: When you use it in the sense of </span>one people, many peoples:
<span>Here, </span>people<span> (singular) means a group of human beings belonging to a particular race/ethnicity. The plural of such groups is called </span>peoples.
<span>E.g. </span>
<span>The different peoples of the world have very diverse traditions.</span><span>The Ukrainians are a nice people.</span>
<span>Case 2: When you use it in the sense of </span>one person, many people:
<span>Here, </span>people<span> means a group of persons. This is the regular and most common usage of the word </span>people.
<span>E.g. </span>
<span>There are more than a billion people in India</span>

Select the correct text in the passage.
Nostrana [21]

Shortly before President Roosevelt’s State of the Union address was delivered on January 6, 1941, Eleanor published her first My Day column of the year. The essay anticipated many of the themes the president would address in his speech. Though hope was hard to entertain, she believed that many Americans would nevertheless find a ray of hope by working together toward the attainment of “peace with honor and justice for all.”She then mentioned the goals (or “freedoms,” in Franklin’s speech) for which she thought people would be inspired to fight: “Justice for all, security in certain living standards, a recognition of the dignity and the right of the individual human being, without regard to his race, creed, or color.”
