Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the first half of the analogy, plethora means a surplus or overabundance - the opposite of scarcity. So, look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), guile is skillful deceit, so eliminate those synonyms. In choice (B), turpitude is a synonym for depravity, both of which mean wickedness. In choice (C), an agglomeration refers to a jumbled mass or collection of parts, so eliminate that choice. Choice (D) is the choice that contains antonyms. A laggard is someone who is a slacker or straggler, not a leader.
