In the following question, the sentence is given with blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option. Both taciturn and ______, Daniel seldom spoke and never spent money.
miserly
The sentence describes two parallel traits: Daniel "seldom spoke" (taciturn) and "never spent money". The blank needs an adjective for someone extremely reluctant to spend.
Miserly fits perfectly — it means hoarding money and spending as little as possible. "Wary" means cautious (of danger), "discreet" relates to speech/judgement, and "cheap" is informal and less precise than miserly for this register.
