Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Scholarly.
- Scholarly is the correct option.
- Scholarly is the most appropriate synonym for "erudite." Both terms refer to a person who is extremely well-educated and knowledgeable about a certain subject in depth.
- Compared to other options:
- Excited: Excited is not the same as "erudite." Excited refers to the state of being or showing joy and energy.
- Lazy: The meaning of lazy is "not willing to work or use energy." This is the opposite of being erudite, as acquiring a large amount of knowledge takes effort and dedication.
- Impressive: "Impressive" does not necessarily refer to intelligence or learning, yet an intelligent person may be impressive because of their knowledge.
