Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer: Laconic
Explanation
• The correct spelling is Laconic, which describes a style of speech or writing that uses very few words to express what is meant; brief and concise.
• A common error involves adding French-style endings like -ique or Germanic endings like -ck/-k. The standard English adjective simply ends in -ic.
• Example: She gave a laconic nod and immediately walked out of the room.
