Question

The antonym for the word "Taciturn" is ______

• A. garrulous
• B. energetic
• C. ephemeral
• D. enigmatic

Hint:

Taciturn means a person of few words; look for the word meaning the opposite.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Start from the core meaning: "taciturn" people say little and prefer silence, so hunt for a word that means the complete opposite, someone who talks nonstop.

1. Option A: Correct. "Garrulous" describes a person who chatters constantly, the clear reverse of a quiet, reserved person.
2. Option B: Wrong. Being "energetic" is about activity level, not how much someone speaks.
3. Option C: Wrong. "Ephemeral" is about things that do not last, unrelated to speech habits.
4. Option D: Wrong. "Enigmatic" means hard to understand or mysterious, not talkative.

Only "garrulous" flips the meaning of "taciturn" correctly, so option A is right.
