Answer

The answer is: Her frugal lifestyle of clipping coupons and waiting for sales helped her to live better with a minimum wage job.

Explanation
Option 1: We were very frugal, very careful to save our money and not to spend too much.

This sentence provides a definition clue rather than an example clue. It directly explains what "frugal" means by stating "very careful to save our money and not to spend too much."

Option 2: Her frugal lifestyle of clipping coupons and waiting for sales helped her to live better with a minimum wage job.

This sentence contains an example clue. It illustrates what "frugal" means by giving specific examples of frugal behavior, such as "clipping coupons and waiting for sales."

Option 3: Living a frugal life in childhood has helped me become more economical with shopping decisions as an adult.

This sentence does not provide an example of frugal behavior; it simply states the result of living a frugal life.

Option 4: Our friends spent whatever they earned wastefully, but we were frugal with our salaries.

This sentence contrasts frugal behavior with wasteful behavior but does not provide specific examples of what being frugal entails.
