Correct Answer: Pauper


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

Explanation:
The word that means the same as the group of words underlined in the given sentence is pauper.
In the sentence, the phrase "small business owners" who "have no means of livelihood left" suggests that these individuals are facing severe financial hardship, possibly to the point of poverty. A "pauper" refers to a person who is extremely poor, destitute, or lacking the means of support.

Therefore, in the context of the sentence, pauper is a suitable term to convey the economic distress experienced by the small business owners affected by the pandemic.
