The phrase "yapping like a poodle" typically suggests that someone is talking excessively or annoyingly. Thus, the most fitting interpretation from the options provided would be:
- He talks too much.
However, it could also imply that he has an annoying voice (as poodles are often associated with high-pitched barking), but the primary meaning relates to excessive or nagging chatter. Therefore, if you can choose "All of the above," that could also be a suitable answer, as this would encompass both the excessive talking and potential annoyance implied by the comparison.
