Question

An _______ traveller, she had visited over 80 countries and showed no signs of slowing down even in her seventies. A). occasional B). inveterate C). reluctant D). impulsive

Edvaya · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is inveterate. Inveterate describes a habit, activity, or feeling that is long-established and unlikely to change — deeply ingrained through long practice or experience. Why "inveterate" fits: Visiting 80+ countries and continuing into one's seventies suggests travel is a deeply ingrained, lifelong habit — the hallmark of an inveterate traveller. Why the other options are wrong: • Occasional — happening from time to time; the opposite of habitual. • Reluctant — unwilling; implies she travels despite not wanting to. • Impulsive — acting without forethought; suggests randomness, not a lifelong pattern. Example in use: "An inveterate optimist, he refused to accept defeat even when the odds were stacked against him." Synonyms: Habitual, confirmed, hardened, chronic, deep-rooted.
