Which word describes having to do with the belief in a higher power?

• A. Spiritual
• B. Religion
• C. Culture
• D. Diversity

Answer: (A)

The idea here is spirituality—the belief in a higher power and in sacred or meaningful aspects of life. Spiritual describes how someone relates to concepts of the sacred, meaning, purpose, and a sense of connection to something greater than themselves. It often refers to personal faith or experiences of the divine rather than to organized systems or institutions.

Religion, meanwhile, is about organized beliefs, rituals, and communities with specific doctrines. Culture covers the shared customs, language, arts, and everyday practices of a group. Diversity refers to the variety and differences among people. Because the phrase centers on belief in a higher power, spirituality is the best fit.
