Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.
The quality of admiring oneself too much, especially one’s appearance
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The one-word substitute for the quality of admiring oneself too much, especially one’s appearance is narcissism.
- Hermaphroditism is the condition of having both male and female reproductive organs.
- Existentialism is a philosophical movement that emphasizes the individual's freedom and responsibility to create their own meaning in life.
- Narcissism is the excessive admiration of oneself, especially one's physical appearance.
- Sensationalism is the tendency to emphasize or exploit the sensational or emotionally arousing aspects of something.
Narcissism is the most appropriate word for this group of words because it specifically refers to the excessive admiration of oneself. The other words do not have the same connotation of self-love.
