Explanation:

To determine the clue for "abundant", we analyze the context. The sentence says "I'm hoping to come back to an abundant crop of flowers, but very few weeds." The contrast between "abundant" (for flowers) and "very few" (for weeds) shows "abundant" means a large amount. The clue "very few weeds" (implying flowers are many) helps, but the meaning "large in amount" matches "abundant". Wait, the question is which clue helps. The text has "very few weeds" while the flower crop is abundant. So the clue from the story: "very few weeds" (since flowers are abundant vs weeds being few) or the meaning "large in amount" is the match. Wait, the task is to find which clue (from the story or the meaning?) Wait, the purple box: WORD is abundant, CLUE is "?", MEANING is "large in amount". Wait, the question is "Look at the meaning of 'abundant'. the chart. Which clue helps you understand what this word means?" Wait, the story text: "I'm hoping to come back to an abundant crop of flowers, but very few weeds." So the clue is the contrast: flowers are abundant (many) vs weeds are few. So the clue from the story is "very few weeds" because it contrasts with abundant (so abundant means many, like large in amount).

Answer:

The clue "very few weeds" (from the story text: "I'm hoping to come back to an abundant crop of flowers, but very few weeds") helps, as it contrasts with "abundant" to show it means a large amount (matching the meaning "large in amount").
