Correct Answer: Conservative
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
"Conservative" is the correct antonym in the context of the sentence. While "liberal" typically implies open-mindedness and progressive views, "conservative" is often associated with traditional and cautious views.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- "Tolerant" is not the direct antonym of "liberal" in the context of this sentence. While "liberal" relates to beliefs about social issues, "tolerant" is about accepting differences and being open to various perspectives, which is not the opposite of believing in inherent superiority.
- "Republican" refers to a political affiliation and is not directly related to the context of the sentence.
- "Philanthropist" refers to someone who donates to charitable causes, which is unrelated to the context of the sentence.
