  1. SSC CHSL 2025 T-1 Spelling

    Fill in the blank with the correctly spelled word that means "excessively talkative, especially about trivial matters."
    The _____ neighbor kept everyone awake with his endless stories.

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: C) garrulous

    The correctly spelled word is "Garrulous" (G-A-R-R-U-L-O-U-S), meaning excessively talkative, especially about trivial things; loquacious; fond of talking at length about unimportant matters. Key spelling: double 'r' ( garr -) + '- ulous .' " Garulous " has only one 'r.' " Garralous " has double 'r' but inserts an 'a' incorrectly. " Garruous " omits the 'l.' Memory tip: GAR-R-U-LOUS — the double 'r' is followed directly by ' ulous .' The correct spelling is Garrulous.
