Question:

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

Ravi got the job easily because he speaks many languages.

Options:

Polyglot

Polynomial

Polycentric

Polysyllabic

Correct Answer:

Polyglot

Explanation:
 

The correct option is 1. Polyglot.

  • Polyglot means "able to speak several languages".
  • Polynomial means "an expression consisting of several terms".
  • Polycentric means "having several centers".
  • Polysyllabic means "having many syllables".

In the sentence "Ravi got the job easily because he speaks many languages", the underlined group of words means "able to speak several languages". Therefore, the one-word substitute for the underlined group of words is polyglot.
