Taciturn

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. loquacious.

  • "Taciturn" describes someone who is habitually silent or uncommunicative. The term "loquacious" is its antonym because it means very talkative or excessively chatty.
  • In contrast, "laconic," "reticent," and "withdrawn" all relate to being reserved or quiet, which are similar in meaning to "taciturn."
  • Thus, "loquacious" is the most fitting antonym as it represents the opposite trait of being talkative.
