From Abstract One, which of the following is closest in meaning to ‘scant’?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The task asks for the closest meaning of the word 'scant' from Abstract One.
First, consider the likely meaning of 'scant': it generally conveys that something is only just enough or is in short supply; synonyms include 'insufficient', 'meager', 'barely voldoende' (in some contexts), or 'skimpy'.
Option A provided in the answer field is: 'Not enough, insufficient'. This aligns directly with the standard definition of 'scant' as meaning inadequate or lacking in amount. Therefore, this choice captures the core sense of scarcity or insufficiency associated with the word.
However, the question as given here lacks the full set of answer options (the answer_options field is empty). Without seeing the other options, we cannot compare all possible meanings to determine which is closest in meaning beyond the provided answer. In a typical multiple-choice setup, there would be multiple terms (for example, 'abundant', 'plentiful', 'absolutely full', etc.), and we would contrast those to identify the closest synonym to 'scant'.
Given only the provided option, the reasoning supports that 'Not enough, insufficient' is consistent with the standard definition of 'scant', but we cannot confirm its status as the closest option without the rest of the choices. The key takeaway is that 'scant' ≈ insufficient or barely adequate, which is exactly what option A conveys.
