Question

Choose the word which can be substituted for the given phrase/sentence:

One who does not know how to save money

• A. Reckless
• B. Lavish
• C. Careless
• D. Spendthrift

Answer 1

The correct option is D Spendthrift

Option D: A 'spendthrift' is 'a person who spends money in an irresponsible way'.

It means the same as the given group of words, hence it can be substituted for the phrase and option D is correct.

Option A: 'Reckless' means 'not paying attention to the consequences of one's actions, careless'.

Option B: 'Lavish' means 'very generous or elaborate'.

Option C: 'Careless' means 'showing or caused by a lack of attention'.

These words do not mean the same as the given phrase. Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
