Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

  1. A. abundantCorrect
  2. B. scarce
  3. C. poisonous
  4. D. hidden

Answer: A. abundant

Baskets filled within an hour means mushrooms were everywhere — 'abundant'.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. scarce
'Scarce' is the opposite of baskets filling quickly.
C. poisonous
Whether the mushrooms were poisonous has nothing to do with how fast baskets filled.
D. hidden
Hidden mushrooms would be hard to find, not quick to gather.
