A.rare
B.abundant
C.limited

A.thrifty
B.wasteful
C.careful
D.wealthy
Explanation: 'Cautious' and 'reckless' are antonyms describing how carefully someone acts. 'Frugal' means careful with money, so its antonym is 'wasteful' (spending carelessly). The pattern is opposite traits.

7Verbal Analogy: meticulous is to careless as transparent is to ___?
A.clear
B.fragile
C.opaque
D.smooth
