Answer 1

A. a strange or foolish man

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. a strange or foolish man.

Explanation:

By using an outside source, I've found that the word galoot is used in North American informal speech. It refers to man or a boy, especially one that is considered foolish, strange, oafish, or clumsy. Even though the origin of the word galoot is obscure, it started being used around the year of 1818. An example with it could be as follows:

- The house at the foot of the mountain is inhabited by a kind-hearted galoot. I was told he would help me find the herbs.
