Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.
Someone who dishonestly pretends to deceive under an assumed character.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Imposter.
An imposter is someone who deceives others by pretending to be someone they are not, typically for personal gain or to deceive others.
The other options - "imitator," "explorer," and "imbecile" - do not accurately capture the concept of dishonest pretense under an assumed character.
Therefore, "Imposter" is the correct choice for a one-word substitute.
