Select the most appropriate antonym of the word: Garrulous
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Garrulous means excessively talkative, often about trivial matters.
Reserved refers to someone who is quiet, shy, or restrained in their behavior and speech. It directly opposes the "excessively talkative" nature of a garrulous person.
Silent implies a total absence of noise, which is too extreme. A person can be non-garrulous (not talkative) without being entirely silent.
