The _________ neighbor kept everyone awake with his endless stories.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

garrulous

The blank needs the correctly spelled word meaning excessively talkative about trivial things.

That word is 'garrulous', spelled G-A-R-R-U-L-O-U-S.

It fits the sentence: 'The garrulous neighbor kept everyone awake with his endless stories.'

Therefore option 3, 'garrulous', is correct.

'garulous' has only one 'r' and is misspelt.

'garralous' wrongly uses 'a' in the second syllable.

'garrolous' wrongly uses 'o' where 'u' is required.

Hence the correctly spelled word is garrulous.
