Question

Choose the word which can be substituted for the given words/sentence:
A person who is always dissatisfied

• A. Heretic
• B. Felon
• C. Malcontent
• D. Surrogate

Answer 1

The correct option is C Malcontent

Option C: 'Malcontent' means 'a person who is dissatisfied and complaining'.

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

Option A: 'Heretic' is a person believing in or practising religious heresy'.

Option B: 'Felon' is 'a person who has committed a crime'.

Option D: 'Surrogate' is 'a substitute for another person in a specific role or office'.

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

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
