The word 'heritage' refers to-

Correct Answer: (B) tradition Vocabulary knowledge — especially the meaning of words — is central to NTRCA English sections. "Heritage" — Definition and Usage: — Heritage: things passed down from previous generations; valued traditions, culture, property, or rights inherited from ancestors — It encompasses historical traditions, cultural practices, monuments, languages, and values — Examples: → "Bangladesh has a rich cultural heritage." → "UNESCO protects world heritage sites." → "Our linguistic heritage includes Bengali." Etymology: — From Old French "heritage" → Latin "heres" (heir) — But in modern English, "heritage" = tradition/inheritance (both physical and cultural) Why others are wrong: ✗ heir — an heir (উত্তরাধিকারী) is a PERSON who inherits property, not the same as heritage ✗ legitimacy — refers to legality or lawfulness; unrelated to heritage ✗ intrigue — means secret plots or fascination; completely unrelated Heritage vs. Heir: — Heritage = what is passed down (traditions, property, culture) — Heir = the person who receives/inherits these things Source: Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary; Vocabulary for NTRCA; NTRCA Question Bank.
