Question

Which of the choices correctly describes a person who is semi-retired?

A.
The person is officially retired.
B.
The person has partly retired, but still works sometimes.
C.
The person works full time and is not considered retired at all.
D.
The person has been retired for a very long time.

Answer 1

B. The person has partly retired, but still works sometimes.

Explanation:

The definition of semi-retired is, "Having retired or withdrawn from employment or an occupation but continuing to work part-time or occasionally."

Options A. and D. both describe a person who is retired.

Option C. describes a person who works full time and so not retired or partially retired.

Option B. describes a person who is partly retired, which fits the definition of semi-retired and therefore correct.
