meaning of the bold word in the sentence. The speaker’s grandiloquent style made the presentation feel exaggerated and pompous.Solution
"Grandiloquent" means using extravagant or lofty language, often to impress or sound important.
"Concise" is the most appropriate opposite, as it refers to expressing ideas clearly and briefly, without unnecessary embellishments.
"Simple," "humble," and "reserved" are not direct antonyms, as they don’t specifically address the verbose or over-the-top nature of "grandiloquent."
