Answer:

Based on the context clues, penury most likely means:

C) poverty

Explanation:

The word penury refers to a situation of extreme poverty or need, a situation of destitution. But even if we do not know the meaning, we can guess it from the context clues in the passage. Right after mentioning the character had never known such penury before, the narrator explains the character has absolutely no money, no place to go and spend the night, no food to eat. He is actually in the corner of an alley, trying to protect himself from the cold wind with newspapers and boxes to get some sleep. From all those facts, we can safely assume that penury refers to poverty.

Always remember that the subordinating conjunction will be followed by a clause.

Give me a sentence with the words risk and wages
notka56 [123]

The word risk means been exposed to the possibility of loss, injury or other unpleasant situations. Risk involves uncertainty.

The word wages refers to a fixed regular payment that is given to a worker as a result of the services he rendered. It is often paid on a daily or weekly basis.

The two words can be used together in a sentence as shown below:

Accepting that job was a big risk, I was suspicious of the employer from the very beginning, when I got to know that such a big wage is offered for such a simple job requirement.
