During the ten years that he worked he accumulated a fortune.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Amassed
Meaning: accumulate = to gather or build up little by little over time *(संचित करना, धीरे-धीरे इकट्ठा करना)*.
Ten years of work and a fortune at the end — the sentence is describing wealth piled up gradually.
amass = to collect a great quantity of something, especially money *(एकत्र करना, ढेर लगाना)* — the same movement, inward and growing.
Why the others are wrong.
• consume = to use up or eat away *(खपाना, उपभोग करना)* — a fortune consumed is a fortune spent, the reverse of gathered.
• disperse = to scatter in different directions *(बिखेरना, तितर-बितर करना)* — the plain antonym of accumulate.
• distribute = to hand out in shares among people *(बाँटना, वितरित करना)* — it sends wealth away i
