HOARD
Tap to reveal answer
"Hoard" is a word that can be used as a noun or a verb; as a noun, it means "a stock or store of money or valued objects, typically one that is secret or carefully guarded," and as a verb, it means "amass (money or valued objects) and hide or store away." So, we need to pick out an answer choice that is either a verb that means means something like "amass money," or a noun that means "a stock or store of money or valuable objects." While "debt" is a noun that is often associated with money, "debt" means "something, typically money, that is owed or due," so "debt" is an antonym of "horde." "Stockpile," however, is a word that when used as a noun, means "a large accumulated stock of goods or materials, especially one held in reserve for use at a time of shortage or other emergency," and when used as a verb, means "accumulate a large stock of (goods or materials)." No matter whether we view "stockpile" and "hoard" as nouns or verbs, they are synonymous, and because "stockpile" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "hoard," "stockpile" is the correct answer.
