Choose the word that can substitute the given group of words. A child born after the death of his father
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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.
