Question:

Choose the appropriate word to complete the given sentence:

Since you don't have much time, I'll be as _______ as possible with my report.

Options:

inarticulate

eloquent

speechless

succinct

Correct Answer:

succinct

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → succinct

The completed sentence is:

"Since you don't have much time, I'll be as succinct as possible with my report."

  1. Inarticulate: This means unable to express oneself clearly or effectively. This would not fit the context of wanting to be clear and concise.

  2. Eloquent: This means fluent or persuasive in speaking or writing. While being eloquent is a positive trait, it often involves more elaboration, which doesn't align with the need to be brief.

  3. Speechless: This means unable to speak, often due to shock or surprise. This does not relate to the context of delivering a report.

  4. Succinct: This means briefly and clearly expressed. It perfectly fits the context, as the speaker aims to convey their report in a concise manner due to time constraints.
