In the question below choose the option nearest in meaning to the word(s) or phrase underlined:

This year's harvest is surplus

  • A enough for need
  • B limitless
  • C more than enough
  • D plenty

The correct answer is C. more than enough

The word surplus means an amount of something left over when requirements have been met, or an excess of income or assets over expenditure or liabilities in a given period.

This is similar to the meaning of more than enough, which, in this case, implies that the harvest is larger than what is needed or used.
