Which term describes a fan who is extremely enthusiastic?

• A. Enthusiast
• B. Aficionado
• C. Fanatic
• D. Fan

Answer: (C)

This question tests how strongly a word conveys the level of enthusiasm. Among the options, the word that signals the highest degree of fervor is fanatic. An enthusiast shows solid, positive interest and energy, but not necessarily extreme or obsessive devotion. An aficionado denotes deep knowledge or refined appreciation, again not necessarily the intensity implied by obsession. A fan is a broad, neutral term for someone who likes or supports something without specifying how intensely. A fanatic, however, carries the sense of intense, single‑mocused passion, often to the point of obsession, which is exactly what “extremely enthusiastic” describes in a fan context. So the best choice is fanatic.
