Question:

Choose the appropriate option to get the meaning of the foreign word 'LITERATI'

Options:

Literary persons

Literate

Other people

Acceptable person

Correct Answer:

Literary persons

Explanation:

The closest option to the meaning of the foreign word "literati" is: Option 1: Literary persons

  • Literati refers to well-educated people who are interested in literature and intellectual pursuits. It emphasizes their knowledge, appreciation, and engagement with literature, not just their basic literacy.
  • Literate simply means someone who can read and write. While it's a prerequisite for being part of the literati, it doesn't capture the broader cultural and intellectual interest in literature that defines the group.
  • Other people is too vague and doesn't convey any specific meaning related to literature or intellect.
  • Acceptable person doesn't have any direct connection to the concept of literati.
