Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: Short — "Brief" means short in duration or concise in expression.

Why this is correct:

  • "Short" directly matches the meaning of "brief" because both describe something that lasts a small amount of time or is stated concisely.

  • "Little" usually refers to a small amount or degree, not to duration or conciseness, so it is not the best synonym for "brief."

  • "Small" refers to physical size or extent rather than to time or succinctness, so it does not capture the meaning of "brief."

  • "Limited" means restricted in scope or amount. Although something brief may be limited in length, "limited" emphasizes restriction rather than conciseness, making "short" a better match.
