Which word is defined as 'the quality of being true and accurate'?

• A. Tacit
• B. Tirade
• C. Verbose
• D. Veracity

Answer: (D)

When a word is defined as the quality of being true and accurate, the idea being tested is about truthfulness and reliability in statements or information. Veracity fits this sense exactly: it refers to the quality of being truthful and the accuracy of what is claimed or presented. The root ver- meaning true helps remember the link to truth.

Other options don’t capture that sense. Tacit means understood without being stated, not about truthfulness. Tirade is a long, angry speech, unrelated to accuracy or honesty. Verbose means using more words than necessary, focusing on wordiness rather than truth.
