    Question

    Select the option in which the word ‘connoisseur’ is used correctly.

    A.

    Only a connoisseur can tell the difference between a fake painting and an original painting.

    B.

    A new connoisseur was posted to the town to bring order.

    C.

    A connoisseur and a novice can be given the same job to control law and order.

    D.

    Every thief is a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to escaping the law.

    Correct option is A

    The correct usage is (a).
    · Connoisseur: An expert judge in matters of taste like art, food, wine, etc. (विशेषज्ञ)
    · Example: He is a connoisseur of fine wines.
    Explanation of options:
    · (a) Correct: A connoisseur has expertise in fine distinctions like real and fake paintings.
    · (b) Incorrect: "Posted" suggests an official role, which doesn't fit "connoisseur."
    · (c) Incorrect: Controlling law and order is for an officer, not a connoisseur.
    · (d) Incorrect: Although "of sorts" can loosely mean ‘to an extent’, this is metaphorical and not correct usage.
    �� Information Booster:
    · "Novice" is the opposite of "connoisseur" (beginner vs expert).
