This means that just because a business is successful does not mean it is required or obligated to give away its wealth. Therefore, the word "prospered" fits in the first blank as it means to be successful or thrive. The word "imperative" fits in the second blank as it means necessary or essential.

The word "habitually" suggests that these actions are done frequently or as a habit, and "tribute" implies that it is a form of praise or recognition for the design of cars.
