A person who migrates to a new country, usually to take up permanent residence.

• A. Immigrant
• B. Emigrant
• C. Refugee
• D. Visitor

Answer: (A)

Understanding migration terminology: when someone moves to a different country with the plan to live there for a long time, that person is called an immigrant. The focus here is on entering a new country and settling, not just passing through or leaving one’s homeland. If we talked about someone who leaves their country to live elsewhere, that would be an emigrant. A refugee is someone who flees danger or persecution and seeks safety, which isn’t necessarily about permanent settlement in a new country. A visitor is someone who comes for a short time and does not intend to stay. So the description fits an immigrant, the person moving into a country to reside permanently.
