Answer 1

Hint:Phrase often carrying a special idiomatic meaning i.e. synonymous with expression Here, we have to choose the correct meaning or the synonym of the phrase or Same meaning of the phrase.

Complete answer:
Option A) Athletic - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of athletic is ‘connected with athletes or athletics or used for person having a fit, strong and healthy body’ and this is not the synonym of the phrase ‘who travels and visits a lot of different countries’ because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Jet-setter - is the correct answer because the meaning of jet-setter is ‘is a person who travels frequently; often, it is used to describe someone in high society with a glamorous life’ and this is the synonym of the phrase ‘who travels and visits a lot of different countries’ and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option C) Cosmologist - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of cosmologist is ‘scientist who studies universe’ and this is not the synonym of the phrase ‘who travels and visits a lot of different countries’ because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Masochist - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of masochist is ‘glutton or asking for trouble’ and this is not the synonym of the phrase ‘who travels and visits a lot of different countries’ because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note:Synonyms are the words that have same or similar meaning i.e. synonym of the underlined phrase ‘Who travels and visits a lot of different countries’ is jet-setter and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of jet-setter is native or local. Thus, Option B is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the phrase and other options are unable to give the correct meaning.
