Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Sparse
Explanation: "Copious" means abundant or plentiful. The word "sparse" means scarce or thinly scattered, which is the opposite of abundant.
Copious — abundant, plentiful (refers to quantity).
Sparse — scarce or thinly scattered (opposite of copious).
Plenty — a synonym of copious, so it is not the antonym.
Wide / Broad — refer to width or extent rather than amount, so they are not opposites of copious.
