The correct answer is: B. Licentious
A licentious person is one who is sexually promiscuous or who indulges in excessive or unrestrained pleasure. The word “licentious” comes from the Latin word “licere,” which means “to be permitted.” A licentious person is often seen as being immoral or depraved.
The other options are:
- A. Ruffian – A ruffian is a violent or disorderly person.
- C. Pirate – A pirate is a person who robs ships at sea.
- D. Vagabond – A vagabond is a person who wanders from place to place without a home or job.
All of these words have negative connotations, but only “licentious” specifically refers to someone who is sexually promiscuous or who indulges in excessive or unrestrained pleasure.
