divisive, combative The most important proof words here are the signal words “nevertheless surprised” and “indeed,” which tell you that the candidate actually stayed true to his campaign promise. That means he acted cooperatively, which is contrasted with the actions of his predecessor. A good fill-in would be uncooperative. Irate and infuriated, both of which mean “angry,” are an incorrect pair. Impulsive (moved or swayed by emotional or involuntary urges) and wily (crafty or cunning) have no relationship.

not sure how divisive and combative are even closely similar to each other in terms of meaning:
Divisive-something which causes disunion or causes dissension
Combative-marked by eagerness to fight or contend
the lack of similarity i was forced to choose, irate/ infuriated.
can someone guide on what i might be missing?
