Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word to fill in the blank.
PROFUSE
The landscape was bleak with ______ vegetation.
Answer: B
The antonym of 'profuse' is 'sparse'. Profuse means given or growing in large amounts. A landscape described as bleak, in the sentence given, suggests thin growth, so the word that is opposite to profuse and fits the sentence is sparse, meaning thinly scattered. 'Bountiful', 'ample' and 'liberal' all mean plentiful or generous, so they are synonyms of profuse, not opposites, and they would not suit a bleak landscape.
