    A Misanthropist Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Altruist Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Pessimist Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Solicitor Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A philanthropist loves mankind and contributes to social work. Therefore, its antonym can be ‘misanthropist’ meaning ‘one who hates mankind.’ 'Altruist’ is a synonym of ‘philanthropist.’ A pessimist is a person with a negative outlook. And a solicitor is a kind of lawyer.
