Discussion
Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
They needed to call in a scientist who specialises in insects to help them identify the type of insects that had attacked the crop.
Answer: D
The word that can replace the underlined segment 'a scientist who specialises in insects' is 'entomologist'. An entomologist is a scientist who studies insects, which is just what the underlined words describe.
An endocrinologist studies the glands and hormones, an orthopaedic doctor deals with bones and joints (the adjective orthopaedic is also not a noun for a person), and a urologist deals with the urinary system. None of them studies insects, so the fourth option is correct.
