Explanation:

The word "loquacious" is being defined. Looking at the context, it says "one - on - one he’d be so loquacious that even his best friend would...". The opposite of being silent or not talking much (as in the "no one could get a word out of him" part of the context). "Overly talkative" is a synonym that fits this context.

Answer:

overly talkative
