   AGenerousBDeceitfulCLasciviousDHumorous
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: A) Generous

   The most appropriate antonym of the word "Stingy" is "Generous."
   Explanation:
   • "Stingy" refers to someone who is unwilling to spend money or give freely, while "Generous" refers to someone who is willing to give or share, often in a big-hearted way. These two words are direct opposites.
   Let's review the other options:
   • "Deceitful" means dishonest or misleading, which is unrelated to the meaning of "stingy."
   • "Lascivious" means showing or feeling strong sexual desire, which also does not relate to being stingy.
   • "Humorous" means funny or amusing, which is unrelated to the meaning of stingy.
   Thus, the correct answer is "Generous."
