Which word describes someone who is furiously angry?

Livid
Mundane
Negligent
Maroon

The correct answer is: Livid

The term "livid" effectively captures the intensity of extreme anger. This word originates from the Latin "lividus," which means "bluish" or "pale," hinting at a physical manifestation of anger that can cause a person's face to appear white or ashen when they are extremely upset. In contrast, the other words provided do not relate to anger. "Mundane" refers to something that is ordinary or lacking interest, which does not convey any emotional intensity. "Negligent" describes a lack of proper care or attention, often in a legal or formal context, but is unrelated to a person's emotional state. "Maroon" commonly refers to a dark reddish-brown color or can also describe being stranded, neither of which connects to the notion of fury or anger. Thus, "livid" stands out as the appropriate choice, as it specifically denotes a heightened emotional state characterized by intense anger.
