Antonym of PARSIMONIOUS

generous
frugal
crude
stingy

The correct answer is D. Stingy.

Parsimonious means unwilling to spend money or resources. Generous means giving or sharing freely. Frugal means not spending more money or resources than is necessary. Crude means lacking in refinement or sophistication.

Stingy is the most similar to parsimonious in meaning, as it also refers to a lack of willingness to spend money or resources. However, stingy is often used in a negative

way to describe someone who is very careful with their money, while parsimonious can be used in a more neutral way to describe someone who is careful with their money but not necessarily in a negative way.

Generous is the opposite of parsimonious, as it refers to someone who is willing to give or share freely. Frugal is also the opposite of parsimonious, but it is not as strong as generous. Crude is not the opposite of parsimonious, as it does not refer to money or resources.
