Question

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom:
A penny saved is a penny earned.

• A. By not spending money, you are saving it.
• B. Every penny that you earn should be saved.
• C. Saving money is not important.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is A By not spending money, you are saving it.

The correct answer Option A.

The proverb means that saving a penny is as good as earning one. Thus by not spending money, you are saving it.

Options B and C are incorrect because they do not comply with the meaning of the proverb.

Only option A expresses the meaning of the proverb correctly.

Thus it is the correct answer.

Since we have option A as the correct answer, option D-none of the above cannot be the correct answer.
