Discussion
Scrooge, in the famous novel by Dickens, was a ____ ; he hated the rest of mankind.
Answer: B
Correct answer: misanthrope
The semicolon defines the word for you: he hated the rest of mankind. A misanthrope is exactly that - someone who hates humanity.
A philanthropist loves humanity and is the direct opposite; a hypochondriac is preoccupied with his own health; a hedonist pursues pleasure. None of the three has anything to do with hatred of other people.
