Show answer
Concept: A person who hates or distrusts all human beings is a misanthrope.
- Key clue: 'hatred and distrust for all of humanity' + living in seclusion.
- Misanthrope = mis (hate) + anthropos (man).
- Philanthropist and Altruist are the opposite (lovers/helpers of people); Polyglot = one who knows many languages.
Trick: 'Mis-' = hate, 'Phil-' = love. Misanthrope ↔ Philanthropist are opposites.
Answer: (C) Misanthrope
अवधारणा: जो व्यक्ति पूरी मानव जाति से घृणा/अविश्वास करे, उसे Misanthrope कहते हैं।
- वाक्य का संकेत: 'hatred and distrust for all of humanity' और अकेले रहना।
- Mis = घृणा, anthropos = मनुष्य।
- Philanthropist/Altruist = लोगों की भलाई करने वाला (उल्टा अर्थ); Polyglot = कई भाषाएँ जानने वाला।
ट्रिक: 'Mis-' = घृणा, 'Phil-' = प्रेम — Misanthrope और Philanthropist विलोम हैं।
उत्तर: (C) Misanthrope
