Introvert is to extrovert as underpopulated is to __________.
“Introvert” and “extrovert” are antonyms; they are complete opposites of each other.

An “introvert” is someone who keeps to themselves, while an “extrovert” likes to be outgoing. This tells us that we should look for the opposite of “underpopulated.” The opposite of "under_-" (not enough) is "over-"_ (too much), so the answer is “overpopulated.” Similarly, “depopulated” means the opposite of “repopulated” just as “unpopulated” means the opposite of “populated.” To help, a place which is “populated” has people living on or in it; for example New York is populated.
