Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Dilettante.
Dabbler is someone who engages in something casually or without full dedication.
A dilettante refers to someone who engages in an activity, such as the arts, science, or literature, without serious commitment or expertise.
Dilettante is a more formal term that specifically refers to someone with a shallow or non-expert interest in a particular field, especially in artistic or intellectual pursuits.
Hence, "Dilettante" is the correct substitution.
