Copious
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Meagre.
The word copious means abundant or plentiful.
The sentence suggests that to be a successful writer, one needs to have a lot of words.
The word 'meagre' is an antonym of 'copious' and means lacking in quantity or quality.
Therefore, the sentence implies that if a writer has too few words, their novel will be meagre and not receive a good response from readers.
