Question:

Choose the word that can substitute the given group of words. A child born after the death of his father

Options:

Orphan

Pseudonym

Posthumous

Bigot

Correct Answer:

Posthumous

Explanation:
 

The word that can substitute the given group of words "a child born after the death of his father" is posthumous.

  • Orphan means a child who has lost one or both parents.
  • Pseudonym means a false name used by an author or artist.
  • Bigot means a person who is intolerant of other people's beliefs or opinions.

The word posthumous is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a child who is born after the death of his or her father. The other words do not have the same connotation of being born after the death of a parent.
