In our village herbs grow in ______ there is a _____ of palatable vegetables.

A.	Abundance dearth	B.	Luxury gang
C.	Seasons draught	D.	Magnitude lot
E.	Affluence scarcity

Answer and Explanation

Answer:Abundance dearth

Explanation:
The two points of the sentence are separated by the conjunction but, indicating that the two words which fit into the blank are contrasting words. Hence the words abundance (excess; surfeit) and death (scarcity) are apt. Option 4 is ruled out because it cannot be said that herbs grow in affluence.
