Question

Select one word for the given definition:
A government by the nobles
a) Aristocracy
b) Autocracy
c) Democracy
d) Bureaucracy

Answer 1

Hint: The government by nobles means that all the power or absolute power is vested in a class of societies.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Option a ‘Aristocracy’ represents the highest class of societies who generally are of noble birth holding titles. This word does match the definition given in the question. So, the option is correct.
Option b ‘Autocracy’ means a government that is represented by one person who has absolute power. So, option b is not the correct option.
Option c ‘Democracy’ means a government that has been built up by the people through elected representatives. The option is the opposite of the given definition. So, this option is incorrect.
Option d ‘Bureaucracy’ is a government where the matters are decided by the state rather than elected representatives. So, this option is incorrect.

Note: All the options should be defined clearly rather than sticking to one.
