[amp_mcq option1=”superfluous” option2=”surplus” option3=”explicit” option4=”implicit” correct=”option2″]
The correct answer is B. surplus.
A surplus is an excess of something, especially money or goods. A deficit is a lack or shortage of something, especially money or goods.
A superfluous thing is one that is more than is needed or wanted. An explicit thing is one that is stated clearly and in detail. An implicit thing is one that is suggested or implied but not stated directly.
In the context of the question, the word “deficit” refers to a lack or shortage of something. The opposite of a lack or shortage is an excess. Therefore, the correct answer is B. surplus.
