Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: Pauper
Meaning: a very poor person who lacks money and may rely on charity or public assistance.
Explanation: 'Pauper' directly denotes poverty. The other choices have different meanings:
Mercenary — a professional soldier hired to fight for pay or someone primarily motivated by money; not related to being poor.
Pessimist — a person who expects the worst; this describes an outlook, not economic status.
Pedant — someone overly concerned with minor details or rules; unrelated to poverty.
