Pick the best substitute for the following expression: A person, especially a young one, with exceptional abilities.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Prodigy is a person, especially a young one, with exceptional natural ability. Intellectual: an intelligent or scholarly person, with no necessary implication of exceptional youthful talent. Genius: a person of exceptional ability, but the word does not specifically carry the young-person sense tested here. Mastermind: a person who plans or directs a complex activity, often a scheme; it does not mean a gifted child.
