Answer 1

Hint: One-word substitution refers to the process of using one single word to replace a given phrase. Example – Felicitate is a one- word substitution for congratulating someone in a formal manner.

 As given in the answer we will be using one word for the substitution for the given phrase. The above given phrase refers to someone who has good handwriting. Here we can understand that the girl has very elegant writing.

Complete answer:
Option A) Calligraphy - It' is 'the art of beautiful handwriting, often with a special pen or brush'. A 'calligrapher' is a person who produces beautiful handwriting, 'calligraphy'. Hence this word can be substituted for the given phrase and option A is correct.

Option B) Collier – it is an incorrect option because the meaning of collier is a coal miner. In this phrase it is given about elegant handwriting which is not near to the meaning of the given sentence.

Option C) Choreographer – It is an incorrect option because is 'a person who composes a sequence of steps for a dance performance'. In this phrase it is given about elegant handwriting which is not near to meaning of given sentence

Option D) Cartographer – It is an incorrect option because Cartographer is a person who draws or produces maps. In this phrase it is given about elegant handwriting which is not near to the meaning of the given sentence.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note:One-word substitutes do not function as a synonym. Do not get confused between options as all of them are plausible distractions. Now that all the meanings of the given options have been explained. It can be clearly seen that option A is the correct answer.
