Question:

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.

A person as a source of intellectual light or moral inspiration

Options:

Lurch

Luminary

Luminaire

Lunette

Correct Answer:

Luminary

Explanation:

The option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words "a person as a source of intellectual light or moral inspiration" is luminary.

  • Lurch means to move or stagger unsteadily.
  • Luminary means a person who is famous or respected in a particular field.
  • Luminaire means a light fixture.
  • Lunette means a semicircular window or opening.

The word luminary is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a person who is a source of intellectual light or moral inspiration. The other words do not have the same connotation of enlightenment or guidance.
