Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation (English): The word spending functions as a gerund, which is a verb form used as a noun. It names the activity that the miser hated and therefore serves as the object of the verb “hated.” As a result, its part of speech in this sentence is noun. It names an action (spending) rather than showing tense or performing the action.
