Select the options that can substitute the given group of words:

One who cares about and helps others selflessly.

A. Altruist

B. Philanthropist

C. Benevolent

D. Philistine

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

An altruist acts selflessly for others, and a philanthropist promotes the welfare of others. Benevolent also carries the sense of kindly concern for others. A philistine is a person indifferent to culture, which does not fit at all. Since D is excluded, A, B and C only is correct.

Note: Benevolent is an adjective while the clue is a noun phrase, but the option set treats it as an acceptable substitute.
