The correct answer is
Extravagant

The question asks for the synonym of the word "ostentatious".

Ostentatious means characterized by vulgar or excessive display; designed to impress or attract notice.

Let's analyze the options:

  • Extravagant: This means lacking restraint in spending money or using resources. This is a very close synonym to ostentatious, as both words describe excessive display.
  • Modest: This means unassuming or moderate in the estimation of one's abilities or achievements. This is the opposite of ostentatious.
  • Reticent: This means not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily. This is unrelated to ostentatious.
  • Taciturn: This means (of a person) reserved or uncommunicative in speech; saying little. This is also unrelated to ostentatious.

Therefore, the correct synonym of "ostentatious" is Extravagant because both describe excessive display or showiness.
