A long and aggressive speech

Options:

Harangue

Eloquence

Prologue

Discussion

Correct Answer:

Harangue

Explanation:

The word that means the same as the group of words "a long and aggressive speech" is harangue.

  • Harangue is a long, forceful speech, especially one delivered before a public gathering. It is often used in a negative way to describe a speech that is angry or aggressive.
  • Eloquence is the ability to speak or write in a way that is clear, persuasive, and moving.
  • Prologue is a speech or piece of writing that introduces a longer work.
  • Discussion is a conversation between two or more people about a particular topic.

The word harangue is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a long and aggressive speech. The other words do not have the same connotation of anger or aggression.
