Select the synonym of the word in capital letters.

His speech was CONCISE.

  • A.brief
  • B.expanded
  • C.irrelevant
  • D.boring

Answer: A

The synonym of CONCISE is brief.

A concise speech says a lot in few words: it is short and to the point, which is what brief means here.

Expanded is the opposite, lengthened. Irrelevant means not connected with the subject, and boring means dull; a concise speech may be neither, since conciseness is about length and economy of words.

The word comes from the Latin concisus, 'cut off', which is why it describes speech or writing from which every unnecessary word has been cut.
