Select the most appropriate synonym of the highlighted word.
"His lecture was terse and interesting."

Correct option is D

Explanation of the Correct Answer: · "Terse" means brief and to the point, often in a concise or abrupt manner.
· "Short" is the best synonym, as it captures the idea of brevity.
Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (a) "Overt" → Incorrect; it means open or obvious, which is unrelated to "terse."
· (b) "Braggart" → Incorrect; it means a boastful person, which does not relate to "terse."
· (c) "Inert" → Incorrect; it means inactive or lifeless, which does not match the meaning of "terse."
Thus, the correct sentence is:
"His lecture was short and interesting."
