Question

Choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word: PAUCITY

• A. Paragon
• B. Pronounce
• C. Plethora
• D.

Hint:

For antonyms, always recall the root meaning of the word. "Paucity" (from Latin "paucus" = few) directly contrasts with "plethora" (from Greek "plethore" = fullness).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

"Paucity" means scarcity, shortage, or lack of something. The opposite is "Plethora," which means excess, abundance, or over-supply. "Paragon" means model of excellence (not opposite). "Pronounce" is unrelated. \[ \Rightarrow \boxed{\text{Plethora}} \]
