language development: word study
identify the choice that best answers the question.
one meaning of the word bounty is \plenty.\ based on your knowledge of the old english suffix -ful, choose the best definition of bountiful.
a. gifts
b. adequate
c. determined
d. overflowing

Explanation:

The suffix -ful means "full of", so "bountiful" means full of plenty (overflowing with abundance). "Gifts" relates to another meaning of bounty but not the "plenty" sense here. "Adequate" means sufficient, not full of plenty. "Determined" is unrelated.

Answer:

D. overflowing
