Replace the underlined word in the following sentence with a similar meaning word from the options given below: The moment anyone comments about Rohit's dressing style, he becomes very truculent and starts to argue angrily.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> "Fierce" means aggressively intense or combative, which closely matches the meaning of "truculent" (quick to argue and showing aggression).

Option 2 -> "Fickle" means changeable or disloyal, which doesn't relate to aggressive or argumentative behavior.

Option 3 -> "Candid" means frank and honest, which is unrelated to being combative or hostile.

Option 4 -> "Transient" means temporary or short-lived, which doesn't describe an aggressive temperament.


Hence, Option 1: fierce -> "Truculent" describes someone who is aggressively defiant and quick to fight or argue, and "fierce" captures this aggressive, combative nature perfectly in the context where Rohit reacts angrily to comments about his dressing style -> correct
