Correct Answer: Childlike


Solution : The first option is the correct answer as ''childlike'' means a kind of simplicity that is pure and reminiscent of a child's innocence, and it fits perfectly in the sentence.

Childish : Acting or behaving in a way that is typical of a child, often immature.

Child : A young human being who is not yet an adult.

Childless : Describing someone or a couple who does not have any children.

These options do not fit the sentence. Hence, " childlike " is the correct answer.

So, the complete sentence is "He is a man of childlike simplicity".
