    Question

    Choose the alternative which is closest to the opposite in

    meaning of the bold word in the sentence. The speaker’s grandiloquent style made the presentation feel exaggerated and pompous.
    A simple Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B humble Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C reserved Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D concise Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Grandiloquent" means using extravagant or lofty language, often to impress or sound important.

    "Concise" is the most appropriate opposite, as it refers to expressing ideas clearly and briefly, without unnecessary embellishments.

    "Simple," "humble," and "reserved" are not direct antonyms, as they don’t specifically address the verbose or over-the-top nature of "grandiloquent."
