"Her _______ should not be confused with miserliness; she is ever willing to assist those in need."

The word that best fills the blank in the above sentence is

  • A.cleanliness
  • B.punctuality
  • C.frugality
  • D.greatness

Answer: C

The word is frugality.

Frugality is careful, economical use of money and resources. It is easily mistaken for miserliness (meanness about spending), and the sentence draws exactly that line: she is economical, yet always willing to help those in need, so she is not a miser.

Cleanliness, punctuality and greatness have nothing to do with spending, so none of them could be "confused with miserliness", which is the clue the sentence gives.
