Which meaning best matches profuse?

• A. created or given in large amounts; generous
• B. given abundantly or magnanimously
• C. sparse
• D. plentiful

Answer: (D)

Profuse means existing or produced in large amounts, showing great abundance or lavishness. It’s used to emphasize a big quantity, often with a sense of excess, as in profuse apologies or profuse praise. The best match among the options is plentiful, because it directly conveys the idea of a large quantity. The idea of generosity or magnanimity focuses on the giver or attitude, which is a nuance not required by profuse, and sparse is the opposite.
