Question:

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

It is better to contact someone who draws maps to get help in your research project.

Options:

Calligraphist

Psephologist

Cartographer

Lexicographer

Correct Answer:

Cartographer

Explanation:
 

The one-word substitute for the underlined group of words "someone who draws maps" is cartographer.

  • Calligrapher is someone who writes in a beautiful and elegant hand.
  • Psephologist is someone who studies elections and voting behavior.
  • Cartographer is someone who draws maps.
  • Lexicographer is someone who compiles dictionaries.

Cartographer is the most appropriate word for this group of words because it specifically refers to someone who draws maps. The other words do not have the same connotation of mapmaking.
