Question

for thousands of years, the people of nigeria have turned to the stars to help them grow food, find their way, and practice religious rituals. one of the biggest and brightest stars in the night sky is sirius. also known as the dog star, sirius indicates the start of the rainy season in nigeria, and farmers make decisions about their crops based on its presence. aligning agricultural practices with the appearance of sirius is believed to result in more abundant and successful crops.
what is the meaning of abundant, as it is used in the passage?
choose 1 answer:
a brilliant
b slippery
c plentiful
d average

Explanation:

The context of the passage is about farmers aligning agricultural practices with the appearance of Sirius to have better crops. "Abundant" is used to describe the crops. "Plentiful" means a large amount, which fits the context of having more crops. "Brilliant" means very bright or excellent (usually for non - tangible like ideas or for light), "slippery" means smooth and causing things to slide easily (not related to crops), and "average" means typical or ordinary (opposite of what is implied by the context of successful crops).

Answer:

C. plentiful
