Question: 174

9. The grandchildren spent carelessly and unwisely, essentially ------ the family fortune built up over the two prior generations.

  • A. amassing
  • B. capitalizing
  • C. obstructing
  • D. squandering

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The answer is D

Spent carelessly and unwisely requires squandering (wasting) as the answer.

Even if you do not know the word squandering, you can eliminate the other answers if you know the words because the correct answer must reflect the result of spending carelessly and unwisely. You may need to guess if you cannot eliminate the three wrong answers.
