Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
A person unrestrained by the rules of morality or tradition is called a licentious person.

• A. freelancer
• B. criminal
• C. loafer-type
• D. libertine

Answer 1

The correct option is D libertine

Option D: 'Licentious', as mentioned in the sentence, means 'unrestrained by law or general morality'.

'Libertine' means 'a person who lives in a way that is not moral'.

This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'Freelancer' means 'a person who works on different projects by different companies and is not employed by one particular company'.

Option B: 'Criminal' means 'a person who has committed a crime'.

Option C: 'Loafer-type' means 'a lazy type of person'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'licentious'.

So, options A, B and C are wrong.
