Explanation

Correct Answer

Reticent

Explanation

The word voluble describes someone who speaks fluently, readily, and at great length—essentially someone who is very talkative. Therefore, the most appropriate antonym is reticent, which describes someone who is reserved, hesitant to speak, or disinclined to talk freely. The options 'talkative,' 'garrulous,' and 'chatty' are all synonyms of 'voluble' as they describe someone who speaks a lot.
