Question

Choose the word which can be substituted for the given words/sentence:
One who lends money at high rate of interest

• A. Solvent
• B. Uxorious
• C. Usurer
• D. Shylock

Answer 1

The correct option is C Usurer

Option C: 'Usurer' is a person who lends money and charges interest at a very high rate.

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

Option A: 'Solvent' means 'able to pay all just debts'.

Option B: 'Uxorious' means 'excessively submissive towards one's wife'.

Option D: 'Shylock' is the name of a revengeful moneylender in a Shakespearean play. He does not define a person in general.

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

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
