Question

determine the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. the gettysburg address is known for being terse, as it is shorter than most speeches. brief frozen long

Explanation:

The sentence states that the Gettysburg Address is "shorter than most speeches," which implies that the underlined word "terse" should mean something related to brevity. "Brief" directly aligns with the context of being short in length. "Frozen" has no relation to the context of speech length. "Long" is the opposite of what the sentence suggests.

Answer:

brief
