Answer 3

Well, firstly, remove the ones that don't fit in. The other adjectives used to describe her are: fierce of temper, loud of tongue, and strong of arm. All the choices work but strong for example is not fully encompassing. Your job is to pick the one that can replace all of the adjectives used to describe her. :D
