Question

in the context of a collegial discussion, what does inflammatory mean? (1 point) ○ liable to swell and cause pain ○ liable to stop the spread of something ○ liable to rouse strong emotions such as anger ○ liable to catch fire when exposed to high heat

Explanation:

In the context of a collegial discussion, "inflammatory" relates to provoking strong emotions (like anger) in others, disrupting the discussion's tone. The other options: "liable to swell and cause pain" is medical, "stop spread" is irrelevant, "catch fire" is literal. So the correct meaning here is rousing strong emotions.

Answer:

B. liable to rouse strong emotions such as anger
