AFFLUENCE

Options:

Hardship

Correct Answer:

Wealth

Explanation:

The most appropriate synonym of the word affluence is wealth.

  • Hardship means a state of difficulty or adversity.
  • Poverty means the state of being extremely poor.
  • Wealth means the state of having a great deal of money or assets.
  • Bankruptcy means the state of being unable to pay one's debts.

Affluence and wealth are both nouns that mean to have a great deal of money or assets. However, affluence has a stronger connotation of being prosperous or well-to-do, while wealth can simply mean to have a lot of money.
