Fill in the blank with the correctly spelt word.
His style of speaking was marked by extreme ________.Answer & explanation
Answer: C) grandiloquence
The correctly spelled word is "Grandiloquence" (G-R-A-N-D-I-L-O-Q-U-E-N-C-E), meaning a pompous or extravagant use of language; bombastic, inflated speech; using unnecessarily grand or elaborate words. Key spelling: " grandi -" (grand/great) + "- loquence " (from Latin " loqui " = to speak). The suffix is "- loquence " (not "- liquence ," "- luquence ," or "- loquance "). " Grandiliquence " misuses ' i ' for 'o.' " Grandeluquence " changes ' i ' to 'e.' " Grandiloquance " incorrectly ends in '- ance ' instead of '- ence .' The correct spelling is Grandiloquence.
