Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
One who is brilliant is called a ___________.

• A. Generous
• B. Genial
• C. Cordial
• D. Genius

Answer 1

The correct option is D Genius

Option D: A 'genius' is 'a person having an extraordinarily high level of intelligence'.

'Brilliant' means 'extremely intelligent or skilled'.

As you can see, 'brilliant' means the same as 'genius'.

'Genius' completes the sentence in meaning: a brilliant person is called a genius.

Hence, option D is correct.

Option A: 'Generous' means 'someone who is very helpful, giving and kind'.

Option B: 'Genial' means 'friendly and pleasant'.

Option C: 'Cordial' means 'friendly, but formal but polite'.

These words do not mean the same as 'brilliant'.

Hence, they're not suitable options.

So, options A, B and C are wrong.
