Hirasaki is being compared to her contemporaries who are verbose. Therefore, you want to select a word that’s the opposite of verbose. [A] suggestion implies that Hirasaki is using few words but conveying a great amount. [B] artfulness implies a craftiness that doesn’t fit with the context. [C] intimation is the act of implying or hinting at something. This is a good contrast to being verbose. [D] illumination doesn’t contrast with verbosity. [E] contrivance means “to pull off something in an artificial or unnatural manner.” This doesn’t match the context. [F] abbreviation, while apparently opposite to verbosity, doesn’t match stylistically. Also, there’s no similar word among the answer choices.
