      A Laconic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Garrulous Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Talkative Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Wordy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      "Verbose" means using more words than necessary, often excessively wordy. The opposite would be a style characterized by brevity and conciseness.

      Laconic - Means using very few words, concise, and succinct, which is the perfect antonym for "verbose."

      Garrulous - Means excessively talkative, similar to verbose.

      Talkative - Similar to verbose, implying excessive speech.
      Wordy - A synonym for verbose, not an opposite.
