McGonigal chooses to use the words scarcity, famine, and abstain. What do these words have in common, and why might McGonigal have selected them? Use context clues or a dictionary
for help, if needed

The words scarcity, famine, and abstain are all negative words. Also, scarcity and famine mean a big shortage of food, and abstain means restraining yourself from enjoying something, so maybe this has something to do with that?

Even though I have not read the passage, I think that McGonigal chose those words because they were describing something bad, or talking about something to do with food or a shortage of something.

hope this helps
