Answer 1

Answer:

C. SHORT

• Brief means short in duration, length, or extent.

• For example, “a brief meeting” means a short meeting.

• “A brief explanation” means a short and concise explanation.

• Therefore, SHORT is the word that best expresses the meaning of BRIEF.

Why the other options are incorrect:

• Limited → restricted or confined in amount or extent.

• Small → little in size or quantity.

• Little → small in size, amount, or degree.
