Question

what is the meaning of the word superfluous as used in the passage? \what can i get you?\ i asked the customer at the counter. he gave me his order and then told me all sorts of superfluous information about himself: how he couldnt find a parking spot near the coffee shop, how he was running late for work, and how he was taking a much - needed vacation next week. while he shared these unnecessary details, a line of annoyed customers gathered behind him. extra, or more than is needed intimate or personal boring or uninteresting

Explanation:

The context shows the customer shared details that were not required for the order - like parking issues, work lateness, and vacation plans. The word "unnecessary" in the passage context clues that "superfluous" means extra or more than is needed.

Answer:

extra, or more than is needed
