Which word means concise and clearly expressed?

• A. Subsidy
• B. Sum
• C. Succinct
• D. Summary

Answer: (C)

Concise and clearly expressed describes language that gets its point across with as few words as possible, without losing meaning. The word succinct fits perfectly because it directly conveys that blend of brevity and clarity in speech or writing. You can say a succinct explanation or a succinct answer, meaning it is brief yet easy to understand.

Subsidy is about financial support given to help someone or something, not the way information is presented. Sum refers to the total obtained by adding numbers together. Summary denotes a brief restatement of main points, focusing on content rather than the manner of expression, though a summary can be short; it’s not the same as the attribute of being concise and clearly expressed.
