Correct Answer: Philistine


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation:
A philistine refers to a person who is hostile or indifferent to cultural and artistic values. It originated from the ancient Philistines, historically seen as lacking in culture and refinement.

  • An expert refers to a person with extensive knowledge or skill in a particular area.
  • A mercenary is a person primarily concerned with making money, often at the expense of ethics or principles.
  • A professional means someone engaged in a specific activity as a paid occupation, typically with high levels of expertise and standards.

Therefore, the correct answer would be philistine.
