   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) Reticent

   Meaning: loquacious = very talkative, given to endless chatter *(वाचाल, बातूनी)*, from Latin *loqui*, to speak.

   reticent = reserved, unwilling to say much *(अल्पभाषी, मितभाषी)* — the exact contrary.
   Why the others are wrong.
   • Talkative = fond of talking *(बातूनी)* — a plain synonym, the commonest trap in an antonym question.
   • Chatty = talking easily about small matters *(गपशप करने वाला)* — also a synonym, only more informal.
   • Gregarious = fond of company, sociable *(मिलनसार, समूहप्रिय)* — close in flavour but about liking people, not about talking, and in no way an opposite.
   Word help.
   garrulous = tediously talkative *(वाचाल, बकबक क
