Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: dignity
Explanation: 'Although' introduces a contrast. The sentence says that despite being very poor, she still retains her self-respect. 'Dignity' means self-respect, so it fits the blank naturally.
sense — Incorrect: 'sense' alone is vague or incomplete (you would expect 'sense of humour' or 'sense of pride').
humour — Possible in some contexts, but less appropriate here; the common expression contrasting poverty and personal worth is retaining one's 'dignity'.
money — Incorrect: this contradicts 'she is very poor' and does not convey the intended meaning of maintaining self-respect.
