Which word means 'done without using words'?

• A. Tacit
• B. Taciturn
• C. Tirade
• D. Torpor

Answer: (A)

Tacit means understood or implied without being spoken aloud. When something is done without words, it’s described as tacit because the understanding or agreement exists without explicit verbal expression. The idea comes from the sense of something conveyed silently, often through gestures, nods, or shared understanding.

Taciturn, by contrast, describes a person who is habitually quiet or reserved in speaking, not necessarily something that’s done without words. A tirade is a lengthy, angry speech, which is all about spoken words. Torpor refers to a state of lethargy or inactivity, not related to communication at all.

So, the best fit for “done without using words” is tacit—implied or understood without being stated.
