Hi,
The man`s colleagues characterized him as _____ because he had an irritable, quarrelsome disposition.
The highlighted portion above it the clue for finding an answer. We need something synonymous to irritating
Two Answers
a. crabby- Being honest I was not sure what crabby means. So, I'd look at other options and then decide whteher to reject or keep this option
b. disingenuous- insincere-Out
c. Sanctimonious- broadly has similar a meaning as disingenuous- Out
d. cantankerous- ill-humored or irritable- Keep
e. artful- Cunning- Out
f. tyrannical- exercising power in a cruel way- Out
So we are only left with A & D.
IMO A & D
P.s. Crabby- Means irritable (I googled it)
Hope this helps!
