Question

Explanation:

The phrase "could not get a word in edgewise" means someone is talking so much that others can't interrupt. We need an adjective describing a very talkative person:

1. pneumatic: related to air/gas, irrelevant.
2. diminutive: very small, irrelevant.
3. imminent: about to happen, irrelevant.
4. loquacious: meaning talkative, matches the context perfectly.

Answer:

1. loquacious
