Correct Answer: Amateur


Solution : The second option is correct.

Amateur refers to a person who engages in activity for passion and enjoyment rather than as a professional or as a primary source of income, making it the correct one-word substitute.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • A performer is a person who entertains an audience.
  • A professional is a person who follows an occupation as a means of livelihood.
  • An ascetic person avoids physical pleasures and lives a simple life.

Therefore, the correct answer is amateur .
