Read the paragraph.It was hard to believe the men were twins given their lifestyles. One twin lived frugally, saving money and being careful not to overspend. The other twin lived lavishly, spending money on jewelry, parties, and whatever else struck his fancy. But both were happy with their choices.Why does the author most likely use the antonyms frugally and lavishly?
Answer
A
to suggest that neither of the twins spends money wisely
B
to show how different the men are even though they are twins
C
to describe how the twins came to disagree with one another
D
to highlight how money can cause problems even between twins
Explanation
“Frugally” means spending carefully and saving money, while “lavishly” means spending freely on expensive things. Using these antonyms emphasizes the contrast between the twins’ lifestyles, even though they are twins. The paragraph says both are happy with their choices, so it does not suggest that money caused a disagreement or problem.
