Correct Answer: extravagant


Solution : The correct word to fill in the blank is the second option .

"Extravagant" means the lack of restraint in spending money or using resources, often on things that are not necessary. If someone has extravagant tastes and habits, it means they spend a lot of money on non-essential items, which could explain why they are always in debt.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Thrifty means being careful with money, avoiding waste, and being economical.
  • Moderate means neither excessive nor extreme.
  • Judicious means showing good judgment, wisdom, or discretion.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: His extravagant tastes and habits explain why he is always in debt.
