Options:

Right Answer: One who hates mankind
The word 'misanthrope', sometimes spelt misanthrop, comes from the Greek roots misein meaning to hate and anthropos meaning mankind. It therefore denotes a person who hates or distrusts all human beings and avoids their society. Related words are philanthrope for a lover of mankind and misogynist for a hater of women. The other options describe different ideas: something imaginary is fictitious, something not based on facts is baseless, and a calf for sacrifice is a scapegoat. Hence the correct answer is 'one who hates mankind'.This question is part of English Grammar - One Word Substitution, which has 3 practice questions with answers.
