Question

Which word could best replace the underlined word as it is used in the paragraph?

My grandmother is a thrifty shopper. No matter where she goes, she always gets the best deals and saves money, too. I try to follow her example, but sometimes it’s hard, especially when I see something I really like. I always want to get it right away. I’m not as patient as my grandmother.

A.
wary

B.
generous

C.
frugal

D.
hasty

Answer 1

the underlined thrifty

Answer 2

Thrifty means to use money and other resources wisely not wastefully. The answer isn't 'generous' because she's not giving anything. Wary means to show caution about possible problems. Frugal means to be sparing with money or food. And 'hasty' means to do something with urgent speed. So with all the possible answers, 'wary' or A is the most likely answer.
