Question

A(n) _________________ of fruit in the storehouse on Monday can mean __________________ flies and other pests on Tuesday. A. idiosyncrasy; insular B. idiom; singular C. plurality; nonplussed D. surplus; innumerable

Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

In this example, the word surplus is referring to extra fruit and vegetables in the storehouse that were not moved, used, or transferred to the store shelves to be sold.

Innumerable is referring to a great number that is so big it cannot be counted. The result of many fruits and vegetables that are not refrigerated is a great number of pests and flies the next day.
