What is the primary responsibility of clergy?

1. Medical treatment

2. Religious ceremonies

3. Driving transportation

4. Sales and marketing

The correct answer is: Religious ceremonies

The primary responsibility of clergy is to conduct religious ceremonies. Clergy members, such as priests, ministers, and rabbis, play a crucial role in their faith communities by leading worship services, officiating at significant life events like weddings and funerals, and providing spiritual guidance to their congregants. Their training and authority typically focus on religious education and the provision of spiritual care, thus making religious ceremonies their central duty. In contrast, medical treatment, driving transportation, and sales and marketing do not align with the core functions of a clergy member, as these roles are associated with specific professions that require distinct sets of skills and training outside the spiritual and communal focus of clergy work.
