The question below has one blank, which is indicating that something has been omitted. Find out which option can be used to fill up the blank to make it meaningfully complete.
With careful budgeting, their savings ________ steadily throughout the year.

Correct option is A

The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) accrued.
Accrued means accumulated or increased over time—exactly what prudent budgeting aims to achieve with savings. (Hindi: संचित हुए/बढ़ते गए).
Example: Thanks to strict planning, interest accrued month after month.
Explain why other options are incorrect.
· spilled: overflowed/was scattered (Hindi: छलक पड़ा/बिखर गया); not used for savings growth.
· depleted: was reduced/exhausted (Hindi: कम हो गया/खत्म हो गया); opposite meaning.
· fined: penalized with a monetary charge (Hindi: जुर्माना लगाया गया); doesn’t take “savings” as subject.
· abated: decreased/diminished (Hindi: कम हुआ); contradicts “careful budgeting” leading to steady increase.
