The key point of the sentence is that the individual who was its subject was spending prodigally. Having noted this, we can solve blank two and identify how someone who is spending prodigally is that who is lacking in self-control or self-denial, which makes abnegation the right choice. Going to the first blank, there is always the threat of penury for someone who persists in prodigal spending, and we can select penury as the correct answer choice for that blank.
