His explanation is always concise.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Lengthy.

"Concise" means brief and to the point, while "lengthy" means extended. In the context of the sentence, if someone's explanation is concise, it means it is expressed in a few words without unnecessary details. Therefore, the opposite of concise would be an explanation that is long or drawn out, making "lengthy" the correct antonym. The other options ("frank," "precise," "intelligent") do not convey the opposite meaning of concise in this context.
