- Here’s the thing:

- “Method of talking in a roundabout way” is the heart of this question.

- Let’s break down each option:

- Option 1: talkative

- Means someone who talks a lot, not necessarily in circles.

- Option 2: circumlocution

- Literally means using many words where fewer would do, especially to be vague or evasive—a classic roundabout way of talking.

- Option 3: elocution

- The skill of clear and expressive speech—articulation and pronunciation. Not about being roundabout.

- Option 4: convoluted

- Means something complex or complicated—can describe speech, but not specifically talking in circles.

So, circumlocution is the word you’re looking for. The rest miss the mark for various reasons.
