Question

1. Deep in credit card debt, Dylan changed his view of his grandparents, whom he had once regarded as ______, but now thought of as wise.

(A) nitpicking

(B) penurious

(C) censorious

(D) parsimonious

(E) disingenuous

(F) quibbling

Answer Explanation

The correct answers are (B) and (D). This item is structured as a contrast; it contains the clue “but.” However, the answer is not the opposite of “wise,” but the opposite of the behavior that lands a person in credit card debt. “Penurious” and “parsimonious,” choices (B) and (D), meaning “extremely or excessively unwilling to spend money,” fit this sentence and result in the same meaning in the two completed sentences. Choices (A) and (C), “nitpicking” and “censorious,” which both mean “overly critical,” don’t make sense. Choices (E) and (F) are also incorrect: “disingenuous” means “fake or deceptive” and “quibbling” means “arguing over little or petty things.”
