Correct Answer:
A. Verbose
Prolix is an adjective that means using more words than necessary, especially in speech or writing. A prolix person expresses ideas in an overly lengthy and wordy manner instead of being brief and clear. The closest synonym is \"Verbose.\" Therefore, the correct answer should be Verbose, not To Prolong.
- Verbose – Correct. Means wordy, lengthy, or using too many words.
- Brief – Incorrect. Means short and concise.
- Concise – Incorrect. Means expressing ideas clearly in few words; it is the opposite of prolix.
- Silent – Incorrect. Means not speaking at all.
Note: If the options are To Promote, To Prolong, To Proactive, and To Provide, then the MCQ is invalid because none of these is a synonym of \"Prolix.\"
