Connect the name with the religious community.
The question asks for the name of a Jewish house of worship. The German word is “Synagoge”, and the English word is “synagogue”. It refers to a type of place, not the name of one particular community or building.
Jewish community life includes more than worship. The Fraenkelufer synagogue in Berlin, for example, also describes opportunities for shared learning and cultural activities. This is a specific present-day example, not an identical programme for every synagogue.
The other three answers
The other words do not name the Jewish house of worship.
Basilica
“Basilica” can describe a building type and is also used as an ecclesiastical honorary title. It is not the term sought for a Jewish house of worship.
Mosque
A mosque is a place of Muslim prayer and community life. The question explicitly asks about the Jewish house of worship.
Church
A Christian place of worship is called a church. The corresponding word for the Jewish house of worship is synagogue.
A shared name does not mean identical practices everywhere.
Religious traditions and individual communities can organise worship differently. The basic answer “synagogue” therefore does not determine the seating arrangements or every detail of a service.
The question also tells us nothing about any individual Jewish person’s beliefs. The name of a house of worship does not establish whether or how often a particular person attends it.
