Select the one which conveys the meaning of the sentence correctly
Answer: D
Correct answer: He wasn't rich by any means, but he never turned away anyone who needed help.
The two facts stand in contrast - little money, yet unfailing generosity - and but is the connective that marks a contrast between two independent clauses.
Why the others fail:
- Since he lacked needed money, he never turned down anyone - since makes poverty the cause of his generosity, which reverses the sense.
- although subordinates the wrong half, leaving the emphasis on his poverty.
- Being not rich by any means - the negative is misplaced; English says not being rich.
