A question from this lesson
A practice passage says, 'The supply was ample. There was more than enough for the task.' What does 'ample' mean here?
- Less than needed
- More than needed
- Exactly as needed
Show the answer
B. More than needed. More than needed matches the nearby phrase 'more than enough.' Less than needed contradicts that clue. Exactly as needed leaves out the extra supply.
