Question

Choose the correct one-word substitute for:

‘ A person who supports change’.

  1. A. Conservative
  2. B. Radical
  3. C. Reformer (Correct answer)
  4. D. Constitutionalist

Correct Answer

Option C — Reformer

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Reformer.

Key Points

  • A person who supports change is a Reformer — someone who works to improve a system by changing it.
  • The opposites and near-misses: a 'Conservative' resists change; a 'Radical' wants sweeping, fundamental change (more extreme than 'supports change'); a 'Constitutionalist' upholds the constitution. 'Reformer' captures the neutral, improvement-driven support for change the definition asks for.
