One who pretends illness to escape duty

The correct answer is B. Malingerer.

A malingerer is a person who pretends to be ill or injured in order to avoid work or duty. They may also do this in order to gain sympathy or attention. Malingerers are often difficult to detect, as they may be very good at faking illness or injury. However, there are some signs that may indicate that someone is malingering, such as:

  • A history of malingering
  • A lack of cooperation with medical treatment
  • A lack of symptoms when not being observed
  • Symptoms that are inconsistent with the diagnosis
  • Symptoms that improve when there is no incentive to malinger

If you suspect that someone is malingering, it is important to consult with a doctor or other healthcare professional. They can help to determine whether or not the person is truly ill or injured, and they can also provide treatment if necessary.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

  • A truant is a student who skips school without permission.
  • A hypocrite is a person who says one thing but does another.
  • A concubine is a woman who is not legally married to a man but lives with him as his partner.
