Answer 1

The correct answer is "rambling."

Key Points

The word "rambling" means to speak or write at length in a wandering or aimless manner, often without a clear structure or focus. (भटकते हुए या लक्ष्यहीन तरीके से लंबे समय तक बोलना या लिखना, अक्सर बिना किसी स्पष्ट संरचना या फोकस के)
- Example: During the meeting, he began to ramble on about his weekend adventures, covering everything from mountain hikes to culinary experiments, without ever addressing the main agenda.
So, "speaking at length about trivial things" is called "rambling."
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
