Penury में 'pen-diary' सुनिए: ऐसा व्यक्ति सोचिए जिसके पास pen और diary खरीदने के भी पैसे नहीं। इतनी घोर गरीबी ही penury है; affluence इसका उल्टा।

Hear 'pen-diary' in PENURY: picture someone who cannot even afford a pen and a diary. That is how poor he is. Such extreme poverty is penury; affluence is its opposite.

Exam note

Penury के synonym poverty, indigence, destitution और beggary हैं; affluence और opulence antonym हैं। Trap से बचिए: mendicity = भीख माँगना, पर mendacity = झूठ बोलना।

Penury is tested with poverty, indigence, destitution and beggary as synonyms; affluence and opulence are antonyms. Watch the trap: mendicity means begging, but mendacity means lying.
