Answer 1

The correct answer is "Most of the people of East Asian and South Asian descent live in Honduras.".

The majority of the people in Honduras share the same ethnical background as their Salvadorian counterparts. In other words, the majority of the population are mestizos. However, there is a small group of people (less than 1% of the population) which are Northern African descendants and are predominantly white.
