What is an embassy?

  1. A foreign military base

  2. A diplomatic mission located in a foreign country

  3. A global trade center

  4. An international school

The correct answer is: A diplomatic mission located in a foreign country

It serves as a communication link between the two countries and represents the interests of the country it belongs to. A is incorrect because an embassy is not a military base, it is a civilian building. C is incorrect because while embassies may facilitate trade between countries, it is not the primary purpose. D is incorrect because an embassy is not a school, it deals with political and diplomatic matters.
