Question

5 use the word below in a sentence that conveys its meaning. scarce \\ˈskers\\ (adjective) deficient in quantity or number compared with the demand : not plentiful or abundant

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to create a sentence using "scarce" that shows it means something is not plentiful. For example, in a drought, water becomes scarce, so a sentence like "During the drought, clean water was scarce, and people had to ration it carefully" uses the word to convey its meaning of being deficient in quantity relative to demand.

Answer:

During the drought, clean water was scarce, and people had to ration it carefully.
