Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term dearth means the shortage or lack of something, and glut is exactly the opposite, meaning overabundance or excess. So, look for the answer choice in which the terms have an opposite relationship. In choice (A), an accolade is a tribute or honor, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), a conundrum is a dilemma or enigma, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), an impediment is the same thing as an obstruction; both are barriers. In choice (C), halcyon means calm and peaceful, not tumultuous or chaotic, so that is the correct choice.
