Choose the correct word from the options given below for the following statement:

One who is very indifferent to pleasure or pain.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

A 'stoic' is a person who endures pleasure and pain without showing feeling, i.e. one indifferent to both. An 'ascetic' practises severe self-denial for religious reasons, 'esoteric' means understood by only a few, and 'sceptical' means doubting. Hence 'stoic' is the one-word substitution.
