Answer and explanation

Correct Answer: B: Illiterate

Explanation: A person who cannot read or write is called illiterate. A literate person can read and write, a scholar is a learned person, and a writer creates written work. One-word substitution is a repeated area in Pakistani English sections because it tests vocabulary precision and the ability to express a phrase in one suitable word.
