Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.
We usually had visitors dropping by, but now we have very less visitors.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Umpteen.
"Umpteen" means numerous, which contrasts with the idea of "very less" or few visitors in the sentence.
It implies a large quantity or abundance of visitors, serving as an antonym for "less."
The other options - "insufficient," "a handful of," and "slighter" - either convey the idea of scarcity or limited quantity, which is not opposite in meaning to "less" in this context.
Therefore, "Umpteen" is the correct choice for the antonym.
