Question 16: What is malice?
Malice refers to the intention to harm or ill - will towards others. A strong desire to succeed is ambition, a strong desire to laugh out loud is just a desire for amusement, while a strong hatred of someone fits the concept of malice.
A predecessor is a person who held a position (like a job) before the current person. The person who takes the job when you leave is a successor, the person who decides if you get hired is a decision - maker (like an employer or interviewer), and the person who had the job before you is the predecessor.
The word "fluctuate" means to change or vary, especially in an irregular way (like rising and falling). "Disentangle" means to free from entanglement, "patronize" means to act superior towards or support, and "rectify" means to correct. So the word that fits the description of varying or changing often is "fluctuate".
