Question

Choose the word which can be substituted for the given phrase/sentence:

A man who has the qualities of a woman

• A. Loquacious
• B. Celibate
• C. Effeminate
• D. Epicurean

Answer 1

The correct option is C Effeminate

Option C: 'Effeminate' means '(of a man) having characteristics regarded as typical of a woman'.

Hence this word substitutes the given words and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Loquacious' means 'talkative'.

Option B: 'Celibate' means 'staying away from marriage and any such intimate relationship'.

Option D: 'Epicurean' is a person who indulges in fine food and drink.

These words do not mean the same as the given group of words. So, they cannot replace them.

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
