One Word

Question:

Select the most appropriate word which means the same as the group of words given.

One who holds a post without any salary

Options:

honorary

volunteer

samaritan

highbrow

Correct Answer:

honorary

Explanation:
 

The most appropriate word which means the same as the group of words given is honorary.

  • Honorary means holding a position or office without receiving payment.
  • Volunteer means someone who offers to do something without being paid.
  • Samaritan means someone who helps others in need, especially without expecting anything in return.
  • Highbrow means someone who is intellectually sophisticated or cultured.

The word honorary is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to someone who holds a position without receiving payment. The other words do not have the same connotation of holding a position without receiving payment.
