The correct synonym of the word ostentatious is __________ .

  • A.Extravagant
  • B.Modest
  • C.Reticent
  • D.Taciturn

Answer: A

The synonym of ostentatious is Extravagant.

Ostentatious means showy, designed to impress others by display of wealth or importance, as in an ostentatious wedding or an ostentatious car. Extravagant, meaning lavish and excessive in spending or display, carries the same sense.

The other three are close to opposites. Modest means unpretentious and not showy. Reticent means reserved, unwilling to reveal thoughts, and taciturn means saying very little; both describe restraint, the reverse of display.
