Correct Answer: pin money


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

In the context of the sentence, pin money is the most suitable substitute as it refers to a small amount of money for personal spending. It aligns with the idea of a personal use allowance.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Pell-mell means in a confused or disorderly manner.
  • Rank and file means ordinary members of a group.
  • Pins and needles are a sensation of tingling or prickling.

Therefore, the sentence is: My mother asked my father to increase her pin money.
