Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Context 

The sentence suggests that the evidence was abundant or sufficient, which is necessary for solving a crime.

Step 2: Examining the Given Options

• "Copious" – Means abundant or plentiful, fitting the context of adequate evidence.
• "Ample" – Also means sufficient or more than enough, fitting the context of adequate evidence.
• "Meager" – Means lacking in quantity or quality, which contradicts the need for conclusive evidence.
• "Incomplete" – Suggests that the evidence is lacking or not whole, which does not fit the context.
• "Flawed" – Suggests that the evidence is imperfect or defective, which contradicts the need for conclusive evidence.

Final Conclusion

"Copious" and "Ample" are both suitable to describe evidence in this context as they suggest that the evidence was abundant or sufficient.
