AMPLE most nearly means:

Correct answer

More than enough

  1. A Insufficient
  2. B More than enough
  3. C Tiny
  4. D Equal

Why this is the answer

AMPLE means enough or more than enough; plentiful and sufficient for the need. Example: 'There was ample food for everyone at the gathering.' The opposite is insufficient or scarce, offered as a distractor. AMPLE often describes space, time, or supply that is generously sufficient. It overlaps with 'abundant' but emphasizes adequacy for a purpose. On synonym items, choose the option that best matches the central meaning — AMPLE conveys a generous, sufficient amount, so 'more than enough' is the closest match.
