Correct Answer: vocation


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Vocation means a person's employment or main occupation is regarded as particularly worthy and requires dedication. This is the correct answer, as it fits the context of the sentence, describing the person's primary profession.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Vacation: A period of time devoted to pleasure, rest, or relaxation; a holiday.

  • Vocative: The form of a noun, pronoun, or adjective that is used in some languages when you are talking to someone or something.

  • Avocation: A hobby or minor occupation.

Therefore, the sentence is: "His profession is teaching, but his vocation is photography."
