Question

answer Surprisingly, alaska received scanty rainfall this year. a. rare b. heavy c. little d. scattered

Answer 1

hey mate your answer↓

b. rare

Answer 2

The scanty rainfall that is mentioned here is referring to the word scattered although it can also be taken as a synonym for little, in this specific case it makes much more sense when scattered is used since it is more appropriate to the scenario and hence the answer should be scattered.

The remaining options do not come close to making sense in this context.
