Question

Choose the most suitable 'one word' for the following phrase.
A person sharing responsibility for a political party's discipline and tactics

• A. Statesman
• B. Diplomat
• C. Whip
• D. Defector

Answer 1

The correct option is C Whip

A whip is an official of a political party appointed to maintain parliamentary discipline among its members, especially so as to ensure attendance and voting in debates. Hence, Option C is correct. Among the rest of the options, statesman means skilled, experienced, and respected political leader or figure, diplomat means an official representing a country abroad, defector means a person who has abandoned their country or cause in favour of an opposing one. These options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect.
