Which noun refers to someone shirking duty by pretending to be sick?
Correct Answer:
Malingerer
Explanation:
The main idea here is recognizing a word for someone who fakes illness to avoid work or duty. That word is malingerer. A malingerer is a person who pretends to be sick to shirk responsibilities, so this term directly names the behavior and the person involved. Desideratum means something that is desired or wished for, not a person or behavior. Conflagration refers to a large, destructive fire. Impervious describes something that cannot be affected or penetrated and is an adjective, not a noun for a person.
