Important examples of entrant in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, entrant is often used to describe someone entering a competition.

▪The entrant submitted their application.
▪The participant submitted their application.

Example of a confusing word: immigrant (a person who moves to another country)

▪The immigrant submitted their application.
▪The person moving to another country submitted their application.
"Entrant" refers to someone who enters a competition or contest, and is used correctly in this context. "Immigrant," however, refers to a person who moves to another country to live there permanently. The sentence "The immigrant submitted their application" would be grammatically correct but contextually inappropriate if referring to a competition. Therefore, "entrant" is the correct choice for describing someone entering a contest.
