Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word

Persiflage 

Last updated Oct 16, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — Banter
Why this is correct:
Persiflage means light, mocking, or witty conversation—essentially a fancy word for banter or good-natured teasing.

Why the other options are incorrect:
A) Criticism: This implies severe disapproval or finding fault, whereas persiflage is lighthearted and playful.

C) Seriousness: This is actually an antonym of persiflage, which is inherently trivial and frivolous.

D) Argument: An argument involves a heated or serious disagreement, while persiflage is cooperative, light, and amusing.
