readingWhich choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A
scarcity
B
abundance
C
quality

expansion
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The text uses "However" to introduce a limitation. The "limits" on power are caused by a lack of space. "Scarcity" means the state of being scarce or in short supply.
Choice B is incorrect because "abundance" means plenty. Choice C is incorrect because "quality" refers to the standard. Choice D is incorrect because "expansion" refers to growth.
