Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word. Exiguous
Plentiful
EXIGUOUS means scanty, meager, or very small in amount; something exiguous is barely sufficient.
An antonym must express abundance rather than scarcity, which is exactly what 'Plentiful' conveys.
'Meager' and 'Skimpy' are themselves close synonyms of exiguous, describing insufficient quantity, so they cannot be antonyms.
'Sparse' also denotes thinness or scantiness, aligning with exiguous rather than opposing it.
Hence, the answer is Plentiful.
