AbundanceAnswer & explanation
Answer: D) Meagreness
Answer: d) Meagreness
Explanation:
Abundance means a large quantity of something; plenty (प्रचुरता).
Its antonym should convey the idea of scarcity or lack.
• Meagreness means a small or insufficient amount (अल्पता, कमी), which is the direct opposite of abundance.
Meanings of other options:
• Miser – a person who is stingy with money (कंजूस व्यक्ति) → ❌ not the opposite of abundance itself
• Unpleasantness – lack of pleasure or enjoyment (अप्रियता) → ❌ unrelated
• Non-serious – not serious (गंभीर नहीं) → ❌ unrelated
Only “meagreness” correctly conveys the opposite meaning of “abundance.”
