Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. earn.

Context: The sentence is about the milkmaid imagining all the things she could do with the money she would receive from selling the milk. The correct verb here is “earn.”

Meaning of the words:

  • Catch – means to capture, incorrect in this context.

  • Earn – correct, means to receive money in return for work or service.

  • Throw – means to toss, incorrect.

  • Dig – means to make a hole, irrelevant here.
