The term semite refers to a large language ethnic grouping that includes which two middle eastern people among its members?

a. Jews and Chaldeans

b. Persians and Hittites

c. Chaldeans and Persians

d. Jews and Persians

Semite refers to the ethnic and linguistic group that includes the Jews and Arabs, but definitely does not include Persians (who are Indo-Europeans) : so we can exclude answers b, c, and d. - we're left with the answer A!

(Chaldeans are Christian Arabs in Syria)
