Correct answer: B
Garrulous: meaning excessively talkative, especially about trivial matters.
Best synonym: Talkative — this captures the idea of being inclined to talk a lot. "Garrulous" often adds the nuance of being overly or tediously talkative.
Why other choices are incorrect:
Silent: the opposite of talkative; means not speaking.
Reserved: indicates quiet or restrained behavior, not excessive talking.
Secretive: involves hiding information; unrelated to talkativeness.
Example: The garrulous neighbor chatted for hours about trivial details.
