Question

Choose the correct one-word substitute for:

A person who supports the status quo and is opposed to change

The correct answer is

Conservative

The phrase describes someone who favours keeping things as they are and resists reform.

A conservative is a person who prefers to preserve existing conditions and is cautious about or opposed to change.

A liberal and a progressive both favour reform and change, which is the opposite attitude.

A reactionary goes further and wants to return to an earlier state, not merely maintain the present status quo.

Therefore the best fit is Conservative.
