Socrates was the teacher of which famous philosopher?

  1. Aristotle

  2. Voltaire

  3. Confucius

  4. Kant

The correct answer is: Aristotle

Socrates was the teacher of Aristotle, not Voltaire. Though Voltaire was a philosopher, he lived more than 1,500 years after Aristotle. Confucius was a Chinese philosopher and lived even earlier than Aristotle, so he could not have been Socrates' teacher. Similarly, Kant was a philosopher from the 18th century, so he could not have been Socrates' teacher either. This leaves Aristotle as the only logical choice.
