a) cacophonous b) portentous c) presumptuous d) perfidious

2) Peter tried hard to keep his temper, but when Ralph used the ............... words, "You are not a man enough to fight with me," he instinctively came out swinging.
a) piquant b) esoteric c) improvident d) incendiary

My answers to these are: 1) d and 2) b

Thanks
