Answer:

No, not enough cards for 27 students and 63 new vocabulary words.

Explanation:

There are 27 students, and each one writes 1 word and the definition on one index card. Assume that every student must write words on 63 cards. Then Mr. B. will have to have 1701 cards. Unfortunately, his current 1,500 cards will not b e enough.
