Correct Answer: eke


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The phrasal verb eke out a living means to barely manage to make enough money to survive or to maintain a basic standard of living. This expression conveys the idea that even the middle class, which is usually more financially stable, has difficulty making ends meet during a depression.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: During a depression even the affluent middle class struggles to eke out a living.
