SSC CPO 2024 PYQ — Question 21

SSC CPO - 27 June 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q21

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.

A lover of mankind

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Philanthropist.

The one-word substitute for "a lover of mankind" is "philanthropist." A philanthropist is someone who actively seeks to promote the welfare of others through charitable acts or donations, embodying a deep love for humanity.

In contrast, a recluse lives in isolation, a cynic is distrustful of others' motives, and a psychiatrist is a medical professional specializing in mental health, none of which fit the description of loving mankind.
