Correct Answer: Stoic


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: Stoic refers to a person who shows indifference to pleasure or pain and maintains a calm and uncomplaining demeanour in the face of challenges or hardships. In this case, using stoic encapsulates the idea that Ms. Scarlet is indifferent to both pain and pleasure and does not complain, summarising the described attitude with a single word

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Amateur refers to a person who engages in a particular activity.
  • Versatile describes the ability of someone or something to adapt.
  • A hypocrite is a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, or feelings that they do not possess.

Therefore, the correct answer is stoic.
