Question

Find the nearest one-word from the alternatives given below: A person who is skilled in many areas or fields

• A. Specialist
• B. Novice
• C. Polymath
• D. Dilettante

Hint:

A "polymath'' is like a multi-talented person — skilled in science, arts, writing, and more.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let us understand the meaning of the words one by one:
- "Specialist'': A person who is an expert in a particular field. This means they focus on one area only. So, this is not correct.
- "Novice'': A beginner or someone who is new to something. This is the opposite of someone skilled.
- "Polymath'': A person who has knowledge and skills in many different subjects. This is exactly what the question is asking.
- "Dilettante'': Someone who is interested in many things but does not study them deeply or seriously. Not someone skilled.
So, the correct answer is "Polymath''.
