Which word means 'briefly'?

Which word means 'briefly'?

• A. Verbose
• B. Succinctly
• C. Lengthy
• D. Wordy

Answer: (B)

Understanding how to express something in a few words is the idea here. Briefly means in a few words, and succinctly fits that sense perfectly because succinct describes something said in a concise, to-the-point way, with few words. The adverb form shows how something is stated—succinctly. The other options describe using too many words or being long. Verbose and wordy both mean the opposite of brief, and lengthy refers to being long in duration or size, not concise phrasing.
