In TOEIC vocabulary questions, attendee is often used to describe people present at events.

Example of a confusing word: attendant (a person who serves or assists)

▪The seminar had over 100 attendants.
▪The seminar had over 100 people serving.
"Attendee" refers to someone who is present at an event, like a seminar or conference. In "The seminar had over 100 attendees," it correctly describes those attending the event. "Attendant," however, typically refers to someone who assists or serves others, such as a flight attendant. Using "attendants" in this context implies that the seminar had people serving, which changes the meaning entirely. Therefore, "attendee" is the correct choice for describing those present at the event.
