Question

select the word that means limited.

as winter approaches in northern forests, some animals take action to avoid the cold and snow. many birds fly south, migrating to more hospitable climates for a few months. other animals remain in the north but go into hibernation. for those non - migrating creatures that stay active during the cold winter months, food supplies are often meager. as a result, many of these animals lose weight over the winter, sometimes as much as twenty - five percent of their body weight.

Explanation:

To find the word meaning "limited", we analyze the context. The sentence about non - migrating active animals in winter says "food supplies are often meager". Since these animals lose weight due to food issues, "meager" must mean the food supply is limited (not enough). So the word is "meager".

Answer:

meager
