Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Scarce
Explanation:
Copious means abundant or plentiful. Its opposite is scarce, which means present in small quantities or insufficient in amount.
Notes on the other choices:
Reverse — means to turn back or change direction; not related to quantity.
Abundant — is a synonym of copious (both mean plentiful), so it is not the antonym.
Short — refers to length or duration rather than amount, so it is not the opposite of copious.
