Question

The ______ of the country should take a greater interest in promoting the indigenous works that are rooted in the deep traditions of scholarship across the world. \bigskip

• A. LITERATI
• B. LITERATE
• C. LITERATURE
• D. LITERAL
  \bigskip

Hint:

When the sentence talks about “people interested in scholarship,” look for a collective noun for intellectuals—like “literati.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The word literati refers to well-educated, literary-minded people or scholars. The sentence clearly talks about individuals who can promote scholarly indigenous works, which matches “literati” best.
Other options are either adjectives (literate, literal) or refer to the body of written work (literature), which do not fit the subject of the sentence. \[ \boxed{\text{LITERATI}} \] \bigskip
