Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Option B uses 'fist' incorrectly - it should say 'fistful of money' to mean a handful. 'Fist' refers to the closed hand itself, not a quantity. Options A, C, and D all use 'fist' correctly to refer to the closed hand or plural 'fists'. 'Fisticuffs' (option C) is a valid word meaning fist-fighting.
