One who has no parents is called . . . . . . A. orphan B. abundant C. lucky D. careless

The correct answer is A. orphan. An orphan is a child whose parents are dead. The

word “orphan” comes from the Greek word orfanos, which means “bereaved.” Orphans may be placed in foster care or adopted by another family. They may also live in orphanages, which are institutions that provide care for children who have no parents.

Option B, abundant, is incorrect because it means “existing in large quantities.” Option C, lucky, is incorrect because

it means “having good fortune.” Option D, careless, is incorrect because it means “not taking care or paying attention.”
