Question

    Choose the alternative which can replace the bold word

    without changing the meaning of the sentence. His prolific writing career spanned over five decades, producing numerous works.
    A Unproductive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Scarce Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Fruitful Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Dull Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word "prolific" means producing many works, results, or offspring, indicating productivity and abundance. "Fruitful" is a suitable synonym as it conveys a sense of productivity and generating good results.
    The other options are incorrect:
    (1) Unproductive and (2) Scarce are antonyms of "prolific."
    (4) Dull does not relate to productivity and is contextually inappropriate.
    Therefore, "fruitful" correctly replaces "prolific" in the given sentence.
