Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: talkative
Explanation: 'Garrulous' describes someone who talks a great deal, often about trivial matters. The word 'talkative' directly matches this meaning.
Why 'talkative' is correct: Both words refer to a person who speaks frequently and at length.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
• 'Unkind' refers to being cruel or not kind, not to talking habits.
• 'Quarrelsome' means prone to arguing or fighting, which is different from being talkative.
• 'Arrogant' means having excessive pride or self-importance, not necessarily talking a lot.
