[amp_mcq option1=”Mendicant” option2=”Ascetic” option3=”Pious” option4=”Hermit” correct=”option1″]
The answer is A. Mendicant.
A mendicant is a person who lives by begging. An ascetic is a person who practices severe self-discipline and self-denial, typically for religious reasons. A pious person is devoutly religious. A hermit is a person who lives in seclusion, often for religious reasons.
A mendicant is different from the other options because a mendicant is not necessarily religious. A mendicant may beg for money or food for any reason, not just for religious purposes. The other options are all associated with religion in some way.
