Question

Select the most appropriate word which can substitute the given description:
One who knows many languages.

• A. Bilingual
• B. Linguist
• C. Philosopher
• D. Narrator

Answer 1

The correct option is B Linguist

'Linguist' is a person skilled in foreign languages. Hence, option B is correct.

The word, 'bilingual' is an adjective which means 'speaking two languages fluently'. 'Philosopher' is a person engaged or learned in philosophy, especially as an academic discipline. 'Narrator' is a person who narrates something, especially a character who recounts the events of a novel or narrative poem.

As the meanings of the above three words, do not mean the same as 'one who knows many languages', options A, C and D are incorrect.
