Discussion
Choose the word nearest in meaning to the underlined part of the following sentence.
He spoke impromptu on the occasion
Answer: C
Impromptu means without preparation.
An impromptu speech is made on the spur of the moment, with no rehearsal or notes; the word comes from the Latin in promptu, 'in readiness'.
An impromptu speech may happen to be eloquent, enthusiastic or forceful, but none of those is what the word means. It describes only the lack of preparation.
