Choose the correct one-word substitute for:

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
'Exodus' is defined as a mass departure of people, especially emigrants. The other options refer to related but distinct concepts:
“Emigration” is the act of leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another.
“Immigration” is the act of coming to live permanently in a foreign country.
“Migration” is the general movement of people from one place to another, often seasonally or for work, but does not inherently imply a large-scale, singular departure.
