Question

i had learned spanish from a textbook and had difficulty comprehending ______ speech. 1 disheveled 2 bilingual 3 vociferous 4 colloquial

Explanation:

The sentence describes struggling to understand speech after learning Spanish from a textbook. Textbook language is formal, so the gap refers to informal, everyday speech.

1. "disheveled" means untidy, does not describe speech.
2. "bilingual" refers to speaking two languages, irrelevant here.
3. "vociferous" means loud and forceful, not related to textbook vs everyday speech.
4. "colloquial" means informal, conversational speech, which matches the context of struggling with non-textbook language.

Answer:

1. colloquial
