MCQ - 142-11844

Question:

When Smithers took over as chairperson, her colleagues were looking forward to a less confrontational time on the board of governors, since they reasoned that no one else was likely to be as ____ as her predecessor.

mordant
aggressive
flexible
aggressive
complaisant

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

A word from the earlier part of the sentence fits the meaning of the blank; that word is �confrontational�. Once you see that then it should be easy to find �bellicose� and �aggressive� which both imply hostility. [mordant = bitingly sarcastic; complaisant = easy-going; jaundiced = negative in outlook]
