Directions: The question has four items. Select the word that does not belong to the group.

The question asks to identify the word that doesn't belong. 'Terse', 'Concise', and 'Laconic' all mean using few words or expressing much in few words - they are synonyms. 'Tedious' means boring, monotonous, or lengthy - it has nothing to do with being brief. While the first three describe economical use of language, tedious describes something that is boring or drags on.
