bellicose : confront
  1. veracious : lie
  2. mendacious : deceive
  3. vivacious : languid
  4. capricious : consistent
Explanation
Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

This analogy involves characteristics. Someone who is bellicose likes to confront, argue, or fight, so look for the answer choice that has the same type of descriptive relationship. Choice (A) is incorrect, because veracious has to do with the truth, not lying. Choice (C) is incorrect because someone who is vivacious is outgoing and full of life, and languid means unenergetic and lethargic. Choice (D) is incorrect because someone who is capricious tends to be impulsive and unpredictable, not consistent. Choice (B) is correct, since someone who is mendacious likes to deceive others.
