Question

weed it and weep
mrs. alvarez knocked on my door. “grayson, would you care for my garden while i’m away?” she asked. “i’m hoping to come back to an abundant crop of flowers, but very few weeds.”
what does \abundant\ mean in this passage?
clearly seen
full of colors
completely new
large in amount

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "abundant" in the passage, we analyze the context. Mrs. Alvarez wants her garden to have a lot of flowers (and few weeds). "Abundant" here refers to a large quantity. Among the options, "large in amount" matches this meaning. "Completely new" is irrelevant, "full of colors" refers to appearance, and "clearly seen" is about visibility, not quantity.

Answer:

A. large in amount
