    B enterprises - exercises Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ostracized - ostentatious Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D affluence - effluence Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence tells us how they contribute generously (liberally) to village and family enterprises (organisations) and avoid pretentious displays of affluence (wealth). OSTRACIZED means secluded or isolated, and will be inapt here. OSTENTATIOUS means characterised by a showy or pretentious display of wealth, which will be inapt here. Therefore, (c) is the right answer.
