The newly appointed chief financial officer /has/ saved millions for the company, so he is good at saving money. However, the fact that the employees were forced to give up some of the luxuries afforded to them in previous years, along with the words unfortunately and miserable, suggest that the employees think the manager is overly penny-pinching. Write down "stingy" for the blank and look for incorrect answers to eliminate. Choices (A) and (C) are opposites of stingy. Hedonistic describes someone who loves luxury, which also goes in the wrong direction. Dispassionate (showing no emotion) doesn't match the predicted response either. That leaves penurious and parsimonious (both of which mean "stingy") as the credited responses; the correct answers are (B) and (D).
