D
Correct answer
Explanation
A raconteur is a person who tells stories skillfully and wittily. The word comes from French 'raconter' meaning to recount or narrate. The other options are incorrect: Sacrelegist relates to sacrilege, Jingoist refers to extreme patriotism, and Atavist relates to evolutionary traits returning.
AI explanation
A raconteur is someone especially skilled at telling stories or anecdotes in an entertaining, witty way. The other listed words describe unrelated character traits — atavism relates to ancestral throwbacks, jingoism to aggressive nationalism, and 'sacrelegist' isn't a standard English word for a storyteller.
