The idea
Where a clear antonym is offered, it confirms the axis being tested. Pick the end of that axis the question asks for.
Shortcut. Abundant goes with abound, 'to exist in great numbers' — an abundant harvest is a plentiful one.
Common trap. "Scarce" — confusing abundant with absent, both starting ab-; scarce is the exact opposite.
