Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: “decorated” is closest in meaning to “flamboyant.”

Explanation: “Flamboyant” means showy, ornate, or ostentatious.

  • “decorated” means adorned or ornamented, which conveys a similar sense of being showy or elaborate.

  • “plain” means simple or unadorned and is essentially the opposite of flamboyant, so it is not correct.

  • “terse” means brief or concise and is unrelated to appearance or showiness.

  • “female” denotes gender and does not match the meaning of flamboyant.
