Solution

The correct answer is "parsimonious". This word means to be extremely unwilling to spend money or use resources, which fits the context of the sentence. Helen's brother is described as being very stingy with his money, which is a characteristic of someone who is parsimonious. Therefore, the sentence should read: "Helen knows her brother has always been very parsimonious, but she still wishes he would not be so stingy with his money and contribute once in a while to family expenses."
