Answer this Vocabulary Question

<p>The actor was noted for his ---------behavior: he quickly became irritated if his every whim was not immediately satisfied.</p>

<p>A fastidious
B sedulous
C vindictive
D petulant
E mercenary</p>

<p>Could you provide the explanation as well?</p>

<p>D</p>

<p>Petulant = easily irritated</p>

<p>D petulant (impatient)...guy gets ****ed off if his requests aren't met right away</p>

<p>That was the correct answer but fastidious means hard to please. So why couldn't that also be correct?</p>

<p>because you're supposed to choose the best answer, and petulant makes more sense (though I woulda probably gotten that question wrong cuz I didn't know either of the words heh)</p>

<p>Fastidious means "hard working"</p>

<p>The key word here is "whim". Suggesting he acts like a child, or is "petulant."</p>
