Read the following sentence.Although the company made huge profits last year, the boss was very ____ with the employee’s annual bonuses.

The sentence contrasts the company’s huge profits with the boss’s small or ungenerous bonuses. “Stingy” means unwilling to spend or give generously, so it best completes the sentence. “Thrifty” can mean careful with money, but “stingy” more clearly describes giving employees too little despite the profits.
