Intemperate behavior indicates a lack of moderation, often involving excessive or uncontrolled actions, speech, or emotions. It can manifest as impulsiveness, aggression, or indulgence, reflecting a person’s failure to exercise self-restraint.
- A. Lack of moderation is correct because it directly defines intemperance, highlighting behavior that is excessive, unrestrained, or extreme.
- B. Excessive restraint describes someone overly controlled or inhibited, which is the opposite of intemperance.
- C. Calm and composed indicates a measured, thoughtful, and restrained demeanor, which contrasts with the uncontrolled nature of intemperate behavior.
- D. Balanced and measured reflects moderation and self-control, again the opposite of what intemperate conveys.
