A Correct answer
Explanation

Bombastic describes speech or writing that is pompous, pretentious, and showy without real substance. Pompous perfectly captures this inflated self-importance and grandiose style. Creative is unrelated, while Pen and Write are nouns referring to writing tools, not descriptive adjectives.

AI explanation

'Bombastic' describes speech or writing that is pompous, grandiloquent, or overly inflated in style relative to its actual substance — using elaborate language to sound impressive rather than to communicate clearly. 'Pompous' captures this same sense of self-important, overblown expression, making it the correct synonym. 'Creative', 'Pen', and 'Write' are unrelated: 'creative' describes originality rather than inflated style, while 'pen' and 'write' are simply verbs/nouns about the act of writing with no connotation of pretentiousness. Among the choices, only 'pompous' matches the core meaning of bombastic language.
