One of the following options is opposite in meaning to the capitalized word in the sentence: there is a PAUCITY of funds right now Select one:

a.
Scarcity

b.
Abundance

c.
Delay

d.
Dispersal

b.  Abundance

Explanation:

The word paucity means to lack of something, to have incredibly small amounts of something, to have an insufficient amount of something. Scarcity is the synonym of the word. The opposite word should be something that describes having a lot of something.

The delay means to do something too later and too slow. Dispersal means distribution, spreading over a wide area.  These two words do not have anything to do with having a large amount of something.

The correct answer, therefore, is abundance. It means to have a large quantity of something, to have plenty of the ceratin thing. It is often tied to wealth and richness.
