The government honoured the _____ to encourage their skills.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4

Complete sentence: The government honoured the artisans to encourage their skills. The sentence speaks of encouraging "their skills": "their" needs a plural noun for people, and skills belong to people, so "artisans" is the only fit.
| Word | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) artist | a person who paints, draws or creates art (the word refers to people, but it is singular, so it does not agree with "their skills") | The artist painted a mural on the school wall. |
| (2) artform | a kind of art, such as dance or poetry (it is not a person, so it cannot be honoured for its skills) | Kathakali is a classical art form of Kerala. |
| (3) art | creative work such as painting or sculpture (it is a thing, not a group of people with skills) | The museum has a fine collection of modern art. |
| (4) artisans (answer) | skilled workers who make things by hand, such as potters, weavers and carpenters | The fair gave local artisans a chance to sell their handicrafts. |
