The word 'talkative' is the closest synonym for 'loquacious'.
The word 'loquacious' derives from the Latin root 'loqu-' (meaning 'to speak') and the adjective suffix '-ious' (meaning 'full of' or 'inclined to'). Thus, 'loquacious' means excessively talkative or wordy.

The captured commander uttered a bitter malediction before being escorted into the holding cell. What does the word malediction most nearly mean?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: curse

Cevap

'Curse' is the closest synonym for the word 'malediction'.
'Curse' is correct because 'malediction' is derived from the Latin prefix 'male-' (badly, ill, evil) and the root 'dict' (to speak). Combined with the noun suffix '-ion', the word literally denotes the act of speaking evil against someone or proclaiming a curse.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Isolate the morphological components of the target word 'malediction'.
The word divides into the prefix 'male-' (evil/badly), the root 'dict' (to speak/say), and the noun suffix '-ion' (state/act).
Segmenting unfamiliar vocabulary into base roots and affixes reveals foundational meaning.
2
Synthesize the root meanings to construct the full definition.
Combining 'evil' and 'to speak' yields 'an utterance intended to bring evil or harm,' which is the exact definition of a 'curse'.
Root synthesis allows precise matching with the correct synonymous option.
