Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. WasteB. बर्बाद करना; व्यर्थ गँवाना
Explanationव्याख्या
Squander means to waste money, time, opportunities or other valuable resources in a foolish, careless or extravagant manner.
Waste is therefore the correct synonym.
Expensive means costing a large amount of money; something expensive is not necessarily wasteful.
Litter can refer to rubbish scattered in a place or to the act of leaving rubbish carelessly.
Economical means using money or resources carefully and efficiently, making it almost opposite in sense to squander.
Squander commonly occurs with words such as money, wealth, opportunity, time and resources.
Waste, dissipate and fritter away are closely related expressions.
Squander का अर्थ धन, समय, अवसर या अन्य मूल्यवान संसाधनों को लापरवाही, मूर्खता या फिजूलखर्ची के कारण व्यर्थ गँवा देना है। इसलिए Waste सही समानार्थी शब्द है। Expensive का अर्थ महँगा है; किसी वस्तु का महँगा होना यह आवश्यक नहीं बनाता कि वह अपव्यय हो। Litter का अर्थ कूड़ा-कचरा या कचरा फैलाना है। Economical का अर्थ किफायती और संसाधनों का सावधानीपूर्वक उपयोग करने वाला है, इसलिए इसका भाव Squander के लगभग विपरीत है। Squander का प्रयोग Money, Time, Wealth, Opportunity और Resources के साथ सामान्यतः किया जाता है।
