Question

Select the antonym for the following word from the options given below:

ENOUGH

• A. Sufficient
• B. Scanty
• C. Plenty
• D. Too much

Answer 1

The correct option is B Scanty

Enough means 'As much as required'. Thus, its antonym must mean 'lacking in quantity'.

Option A is incorrect. Sufficient has the same meaning as enough and thus, cannot be its antonym

Option B is correct. Scanty means 'in meagre quantity' or 'lacking in quantity. Thus, it is the correct option.

Option C is incorrect. Plenty also has a similar meaning to enough. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect. Too much means 'in excessive quantity'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.
