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.
