Directions: Fill the blanks with most appropriate answer from the given options.

The _______________ donated a great deal of money to the university as well as to several charities.

"Philanthropist" is correct because it specifically means someone who donates money or resources to good causes, especially charities and educational institutions. The context describes someone who has donated money to a university and charities, which is the defining characteristic of a philanthropist. "Humble" and "intellectual" describe personality traits but don't specifically relate to charitable giving. "Benevolent" is an adjective meaning well-meaning, but doesn't name the type of person who gives.
