Question

Choose the most suitable one word for the given expression:
One who comes from the countryside and is often considered to be stupid

• A. Villager
• B. Rustic
• C. Bumpkin
• D. Philanderer

Answer 1

The correct option is C Bumpkin

Option C: 'Bumpkin' means 'an unsophisticated or socially awkward person from the countryside'.

This word means the same as the given sentence. Hence it can be substituted for and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Villager' is 'a person who lives in a village'.

Option B: 'Rustic' means 'having a simplicity and charm that is typical of the countryside'.

Option D: 'Philanderer' means 'a man who loves the company of women and isn't committed to any of the women'.

These words do not mean the same as the given phrase and hence cannot substitute for it.

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
