अनेक शब्दों के लिए एक शब्द MCQ - उत्तर सहित अभ्यास प्रश्न

A one-word substitute must be learnt by its accepted meaning, not by splitting the spelling into familiar parts. 'Teetotaller' means a person who completely abstains from alcoholic drinks. It does not refer to drinking, selling, or tasting tea, although the spelling may tempt a candidate to connect it with tea. Since option D gives the exact meaning, it is the only correct sentence. The other options are based on a misleading literal reading of the word.

Statement 1 is correct because an 'astronomer' studies stars, planets, and other heavenly bodies. Statement 2 is also correct because an 'ornithologist' studies birds. Statement 3 is incorrect: a 'botanist' studies plants, while a person who studies or collects coins is a 'numismatist'. The question asks which statements give correct one-word substitutes, so only statements 1 and 2 should be selected. Therefore, option B is the answer.

Statement 1 is correct because a glutton is a person who eats too much. Statement 2 is incorrect because a person who speaks many languages is multilingual or a polyglot. Monolingual means using or knowing only one language; the prefix mono- means one. Since the first statement gives the right substitute and the second gives the wrong one, the correct choice is "Only Statement 1 is correct."

A cartographer is a person who makes maps, so 1 matches c. A botanist studies plants, so 2 matches a. A philatelist collects or studies stamps, so 3 matches b. In matching questions, each word must be checked against its exact field of work or interest, not by a loose association. The only option that gives all three correct pairings is 1-c, 2-a, 3-b.

In one-word substitution, the replacement must carry the full meaning of the phrase, not just a related idea. A person who looks at the bright side of things expects good results and notices hopeful possibilities. Such a person is an optimist. A pessimist is the opposite, a realist focuses on facts, and an egoist is self-centred. Therefore, "optimist" is the precise one-word substitute.
