Explanation:

- The passage discusses how Bhutan's population predominantly engages in farming. The missing word should describe what portion of people are involved in agriculture.

- Option 1: mass - "Mass" typically refers to a large, unquantified group or volume. It doesn't clearly convey a specific portion of the population.

- ?? Option 2: majority - "Majority" means more than half. This aligns with the context, suggesting most Bhutanese are farmers.

- Option 3: community - "Community" refers to a group of people living in one place or sharing common interests. It's too broad for this context.

- Option 4: common - "Common" refers to something usual or frequent. It doesn't quantify any segment of the population.
