What does the word quack likely mean?

A.
a person who talks loudly and ignorantly
B.
an unskilled person who claims special knowledge in a specific field
C.
a person who gossips about friends and acquaintances
D.
a person who is boastful about very minor accomplishments

The word quack means an unskilled person who claims special knowledge in a specific field. The correct option is b.

Unskilled person is an outdated term, once used to describe a segment of the workforce associated with a limited skill set or minimal economic value for the work performed. The correct term is low-wage labor.

According to the Center for Global Development the term unskilled and skilled were derived from institutions, politicians, and other interest groups based on the classifications a determination has been made as to who is and is not powerful in the labor market. Also, the idea that the unskilled labor force is characterized by lower educational attainment such as a high school diploma, GED, or lack thereof which typically results in lower wages, is also outdated. Some jobs call for a strict set of skills or degrees, but it is possible to find well-paying work without them.

Unskilled laborers were once thought of as workers whose daily production tasks did not depend on technical abilities or skills.
