OSTENTATION

Options:

Showy

Abundance

Correct Answer:

Showy

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - Showy

The most appropriate synonym for the word "ostentation" is: Showy

  • Ostentation refers to a display meant to impress others, often through excessive or showy behavior.
  • The word "showy" directly relates to this meaning, as it describes something that is intended to attract attention due to its flashy or extravagant nature.
  • The other options, while related to displaying qualities, do not capture the exact connotation of ostentation as effectively as "showy" does.
