Which of the following best defines a Cemetery?

  1. A space designated for building religious structures

  2. A dedicated area for interring human remains

  3. A location for holding community gatherings

  4. A venue for performing mass weddings

The correct answer is: A dedicated area for interring human remains

The best definition of a cemetery is a dedicated area for interring human remains. This definition captures the primary function of a cemetery, which is specifically intended for the burial or entombment of deceased individuals. Cemeteries serve as final resting places and often include grave markers or monuments to commemorate the individuals who are interred there. The other options do not accurately reflect what a cemetery is designed for. Spaces designated for building religious structures, locations for holding community gatherings, and venues for performing mass weddings represent very different purposes that do not align with the primary role of a cemetery in society.
