Correct Answer: Introvert


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The term introvert is a noun that specifically refers to a person who is characterised by being reserved, shy, and typically more focused on internal thoughts and feelings rather than seeking external stimulation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Social : This term refers to someone who is outgoing, enjoys interacting with others, and is comfortable in social situations.

  • Extrovert : An "extrovert" is someone outgoing, sociable, and derives energy from external stimuli.

  • Recessive : It is commonly used in genetics to describe certain traits that may not be expressed in the presence of a dominant trait.

Therefore, the correct one-word substitute for someone reserved and shy is introvert .
