Explanation:

1. "Infuriated" means extremely angry, which fits the context of a trapped lion roaring in helpless anger. "Withered" means shrunken or dried - up, not applicable here.
2. "Wither" means to fade or lose vitality, which makes sense as the hope of victory fades when the other team is ahead. "Gloat" means to dwell on one's own success or another's misfortune in a self - satisfied way, not appropriate for hope.
3. "Bigots" are people with prejudices, so if one has many prejudices, one should be careful before accusing others of being bigots. "Enigmas" are mysteries, not related to the context of prejudice.
4. A "pacifist" is someone who believes violence creates more problems, so it fits the context. "Bigot" has nothing to do with the stance on violence.
5. "Slake" means to satisfy, so to satisfy curiosity, one needs to tell everything. "Restrict" is the opposite of what is needed here.
6. "Terrain" refers to the land or area one will cover during a backpacking trip. "Vocation" is a job or career, not relevant here.
7. The belief of being a superior person and a natural leader may be an "illusion" (a false perception). "Barrage" means a concentrated attack, not relevant to the context of a false belief.
8. World War II was a "global" struggle as it was fought all over the world. "Pacifist" is a person, not a word to describe the nature of the war.
9. A "barrage" of critical remarks means a large number of them. "Terrain" is not related to the context of remarks.
10. "Wither" means to dry up or fade, which is what lilies will do in the hot sun. "Vow" means to make a solemn promise, not relevant here.
