Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Relationship: abundant and plentiful mean the same thing (synonyms).
A word meaning the same as scarce is rare.
Worth noting
Ample is a synonym of abundant, so it is the OPPOSITE of scarce. Scarce things may become costly, but that is a result, not the same meaning. Absent means not there at all, which is stronger than scarce.
