Choose the word that can substitute the given group of words.
A lover of good food
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The word that can substitute the given group of words "a lover of good food" is gourmand.
- Esoteric means intended for or understood by only a small number of people.
- Chauvinist means having or showing an exaggerated or prejudiced sense of national or racial superiority.
- Gourmand means a person who enjoys good food and wine and is very knowledgeable about them.
- Ergophile means a person who enjoys working or being active.
The word gourmand is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a person who loves good food and is very knowledgeable about it. The other words do not have the same connotation of being a lover of good food.
