AFFLUENCE
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The most appropriate antonym of the word affluence is poverty.
- Affluence means "the state of having a great deal of money or wealth."
- Poverty means "the state of being extremely poor."
The other words do not have the same meaning as affluence, so they are not its antonyms.
- Prosperity means "the state of being successful or thriving."
- Luxury means "the state of great comfort and ease."
- Richness means "the state of having a great deal of money or possessions."
