Person living at the same time

Options:

Contemporary

Coquette

Cosmopolitan

Connoisseur

Correct Answer:

Contemporary

Explanation:

The word that can be used as a one-word substitute for "person living at the same time" is contemporary.

  • Contemporary means existing, happening, living, or coming into being during the same period of time.
  • Coquette means a woman who flirts in a playful or teasing way.
  • Cosmopolitan means having a wide knowledge of the world and its cultures.
  • Connoisseur means a person who is an expert in or has a great liking for a particular thing.

Contemporary is the most appropriate word for the given group of words because it specifically refers to someone who lives during the same time as another person or group of people. It is derived from the Latin word contemporaneus, meaning "of the same time."
