    उत्तर व व्याख्या देखें

    उत्तर: (B) Shorten

    Curtail = to reduce or cut short (कम करना/घटाना). So 'curtail his leave' = shorten his leave.

    1. Careless

    3. Thrifty
    4. Extravagant
    उत्तर व व्याख्या देखें

    उत्तर: (D) Extravagant

    Parsimonious = very unwilling to spend money (कंजूस). Its opposite is Extravagant (फिजूलखर्च). Thrifty is a synonym.

    1. his
    2. one's

    4. No improvement
    उत्तर व व्याख्या देखें

    उत्तर: (C) her

    1. A delayed event
    2. An unpleasant event
    3. An inexplicable event

    1. founded
    2. found

    उत्तर व व्याख्या देखें
