Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. hoard.

  1. gross- being the total amount before anything is taken away.
  2. hoard- to collect and store large quantities of something (often secretly).
  3. combine- to join or mix two or more things together.
