What would you like to remember about the meaning of the word deficit so
that you can use it when you write or speak?

the amount by which something, especially a sum of money, is too small

opposite:surplus

examples of Deficit in a sentence. Because the company is experiencing a financial deficit, it will not distribute holiday bonuses this year. . The government wants to raise taxes to decrease the budget deficit.

the answer is subjective. i personally agree with the first answer for this question.

if one isn't strictly talking about objects then the correct answer would be 'my eyes' since according to this riddle i am asleep and in order to answer/open the door i need to open my eyes first of all.

however, if one is specifically looking for an object, then the first thing i would open would be the door

hope this !
