Question

Select the option that can be used as one-word substitute for the given group of words. One who performs daring gymnastic feats

• A. Addict
• B. Acrobat
• C. Adonis
• D. Advocate

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Acrobat

An Acrobat is a person who performs spectacular and daring gymnastic feats, such as tightrope walking, tumbling, or trapeze acts, often in a circus or athletic competition. The term implies a high level of physical balance, agility, and coordination. To clarify why the other options are incorrect: an Addict is someone who is physically or mentally dependent on a particular substance or activity; an Adonis is a term used to describe an extremely handsome young man (derived from Greek mythology); and an Advocate is a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause, policy, or individual. Thus, "Acrobat" is the only term that specifically describes a performer of physical, gymnastic stunts.
