A Correct answer
Explanation

Penurious describes someone who is extremely poor or stingy with money. 'Stingy' is the correct synonym because it directly captures the meaning of being unwilling to spend or give. The other options (Commit, Close, Gloomy) have different meanings altogether - to commit is to pledge, close means near or shut, and gloomy refers to darkness or sadness.
