Question

Which of the following BEST defines privilege? A. a benefit that is legally owed to someone B. a benefit that is earned or granted C. a basic human right D. a civil right

Answer 1

Answer:

B. a benefit that is earned or granted

Explanation:

A privilege is a particular benefit, advantage, favor or immunity that is granted (by an authority like a legislative body or a court) or earned by someone or by a specific group of people. Therefore, unlike rights, privileges are not inherent to the individual, and instead, privileges are entitlements granted or earned after birth and revocable in certain circumstances. Some examples of privilege are the benefits of owning land, driving a car or a taxi and traveling to certain countries because only people with permissions to do so, can do it.
