SAT Vocab Builder

Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

A nomad is a person who wanders, and a colonist settles and puts down roots. Therefore, these are opposite concepts. So, look for a pair of words that suggest opposites. A monarch is the ruler of a country, so eliminate choice (A). An equestrian is a person who rides a horse, so eliminate that choice. A person who is partisan shows bias, or favor, to one side or another in an argument or debate. There is not an opposite relationship in this pair. Itinerant means traveling or journeying, and resident means staying in one place, not migratory. Therefore, choice (B) is correct.
