Question

Choose the word which can be substituted for the given phrase:
A man of odd habits

• A. Eccentric
• B. Cynical
• C. Introvert
• D. Moody

Answer 1

The correct option is A Eccentric

Option A: 'Eccentric' means 'a person of unconventional and slightly strange behaviour'. 'Odd habits' are also called 'strange behaviour'.

It means the same as the given phrase and hence can replace them. So, option A is correct.

Option B: 'Cynical' means 'believing that people are selfish and only think about their self-interests'.

Option C: 'Introvert' means 'a shy, reticent person'.

Option D: 'Moody' means 'unpredictable changes in one's mood, suddenly becoming sullen or gloomy'.

These words do not mean the same as the given phrase. Hence they aren't suitable to replace and options B, C and D are incorrect.
