Important examples of spacious in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, spacious is often used to describe large rooms or areas.

▪The office is spacious and bright.
▪The office is large and bright.

Example of a confusing word: specious (misleadingly attractive)

▪The office is specious and bright.
▪The office is misleadingly attractive and bright.
"Spacious" is an adjective meaning "having ample space" and is correctly used to describe the office as large and open. "Specious," however, means "misleadingly attractive" or "deceptively pleasing," and is not suitable for describing physical space. The sentence "The office is specious" is grammatically correct but semantically incorrect, as it implies the office is deceptively appealing, which is not the intended meaning. Thus, "spacious" is the correct choice.
