One Word

Question:

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

A person dealing with antiques

Options:

Antiquarian

Trader

Peddler

Archaeologist

Correct Answer:

Antiquarian

Explanation:
 

The one-word substitute for a person dealing with antiques is antiquarian.

  • Antiquarian is a person who studies or collects antiques.
  • Trader is a person who buys and sells goods, typically in large quantities.
  • Peddler is a person who travels from place to place selling goods.
  • Archaeologist is a person who studies the remains of past cultures.

Antiquarian is the most appropriate word for this group of words because it specifically refers to a person who studies or collects antiques. The other words do not have the same connotation of historical objects.
