Question

Finish the sentence. His response was so ______ that I thought he must be angry at my question.

A. pithy
B. condensed
C. concise
D. terse

Answer 1

D. terse

Step-by-step explanation:

'pithy' means brief, forceful, and meaningful in expression.

'condensed' and 'concise' both approximately mean the same thing - which is 'brief' and 'to the point'.

'terse' is also similar in meaning to all of these, but has an implication of anger and offense.

So 'terse' is the best option considering the context of the sentence. 'condensed' and 'concise' do not imply his anger, and pithy means something significant - like a complex idea - said concisely.

Answer 2
