Answer Details
In this question, we are asked to choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will correctly fill the gap in the sentence. The underlined word is "outspoken," which means someone who is frank, candid, or open in expressing their opinions. Therefore, we are looking for a word that means the opposite of "outspoken." The only word among the options that fits the criteria is "taciturn," which means someone who is reserved or uncommunicative in speech. Therefore, the correct answer is "C - taciturn."
