Correct Answer: Aborigines


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

When referring to the original inhabitants of a country, it is essential to use a term that is culturally respectful and does not carry derogatory connotations. Aborigines is a term commonly used to describe the original or earliest known inhabitants of a particular region or country.

The meaning of the other options is as follows:

  • Savages : This term carries negative and outdated connotations, often associated with derogatory stereotypes.
  • Tribal : This term refers to groups with a common cultural identity.
  • Cannibals : This term refers to people who consume the flesh of other humans.

Therefore, the correct one-word substitute is aborigines .
