The first little puffball seemed extremely __________________________ with us; he turned up his tiny button nose and stood in a corner by himself! The next dog actually _____________________ when we tried to pet her! She seemed to jump a mile at our touch! The third dog did not act much better. He gave us a _________________________ stare and didn’t seem to want to have anything to do with people or the other puppies. I was beginning to get worried when, out of the blue, a fourth puppy began to put on a performance for us.

I, on the other hand, had faith in myself that I would be ____________________ enough to take on this new responsibility. After all, what could go wrong when you choose an absolutely perfect, _________________________________ dog? ebullience incessant malcontent winced diffident eloquent augment latent prudent eminent
