A1 & 2 only
B2 & 3 only
C1 & 3 only
D4 & 5 only ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 4 & 5 only — Xenophobia and universalism are the wrongly matched pairs, so the answer is 4 and 5.
Explanation
★Xenophobia and universalism are the wrongly matched pairs, so the answer is 4 and 5.
★Xenophobia is the fear or dislike of foreigners, not a demand for self-determination.
★Self-determination belongs to nationalist movements rather than to xenophobia.
★Universalism is the belief in rights and values shared by all people everywhere.
★It is the opposite of insularity and exclusivity, which suit nationalism instead.
★Economic nationalism is correctly defined as protecting the domestic economy through protectionism.
★Nativism and colonialism are also correctly matched in the remaining pairs.
