A person who is a lover of fine artsAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) Aesthete
"Aesthete" is the correct one-word substitute for a person who has or professes to have great sensitivity to beauty, especially in art and literature. An artist creates art; a sculptor works in three-dimensional forms; a painter creates paintings. An aesthete simply appreciates and loves fine arts without necessarily creating them.

Choose the correct one-word substitute for: 'A person who supports or is involved in the arts'.
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Aesthete
Correct Answer: Option 3 — Aesthete
An 'aesthete' is a person who has or professes a special appreciation of art and beauty; someone who supports and is involved in the arts.
Why the others are wrong:
Option 1 — 'Philatelist' means a person who collects or studies postage stamps; unrelated to the arts.
Option 2 — 'Philanthropist' means a person who donates to charitable causes; while they may support the arts, 'philanthropist' is not specific to arts involvement.
Option 4 — 'Curator' means a keeper of a museum or gallery collection; while related to arts, it specifically means a manager/organiser, not a person who supports or is involved in the arts broadly.
