A person who kills somebody, especially for political reasons

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

In the context of the sentence "A person who kills somebody, especially for political reasons," the most appropriate one-word substitute would be "Assassin."

This is because an assassin specifically refers to someone who carries out targeted killings, often for political motives, which aligns with the description provided in the sentence. 

The alternative options are not suitable for the context of the sentence. 

Hence, the chosen option will be the correct answer.
