Gesticulate is ________.

  • A.to think about a topic seriously.
  • B.to neutralize fast.
  • C.to make expressive gestures while speaking
  • D.to abandon or forsake.

Answer: C

To gesticulate is to make expressive gestures while speaking.

The verb comes from the Latin gesticulari, from gestus, a gesture. Someone who gesticulates uses hand and arm movements, usually with energy, to add emphasis to what they say.

The other options define different words. To think about a topic seriously is to ponder or deliberate. To abandon or forsake is to desert or relinquish. 'To neutralize fast' describes no English verb of this form and is a pure distractor.
