Correct Answer: honorary


Solution : The correct choice is the second option

In the original sentence, the phrase " that is unsalaried " implies that the position doesn't come with a salary. The most appropriate substitute is honorary , which means the position is held as an honour or as a mark of esteem, typically without receiving a salary.

The meanings of other words are:

  • Non - tenure : This term typically relates to academic positions. Non-tenured positions do not lead to a long-term or continuous appointment.
  • Substantive : This term generally means having substance or significance.
  • Tenure : This refers to a permanent position awarded to a professor after a trial period.

Therefore, the most appropriate one-word substitute would be honorary .
