Choose the word nearest in meaning to 'patriarch' :
Answer: A
'Patriarch' is nearest in meaning to father-figure.
A patriarch is the male head or elder of a family, tribe or community, someone who guides it with the authority of age. A father-figure is a man who holds that kind of respected, protective place.
'Relative', 'neighbour' and 'friend' describe a person's connection to someone else, not a position of authority and age within a group, so none of them captures the meaning.
