Which term can be used to describe a venerable elder known for wisdom?

• A. Conundrum
• B. Artefact
• C. Sage
• D. Allegory

Answer: (C)

The idea is to find a word that names a person who is notably wise and respected for that wisdom, often because of age. Sage is the best fit because it directly means a profoundly wise person, typically an elder, whose advice is valued. The other options describe things rather than people: a conundrum is a puzzling problem, an artefact is an object from the past, and an allegory is a story that conveys a deeper meaning. So the term that captures both wisdom and the elder aspect is sage.
