Answer: A. Dictionary

Step-by-step explanation:

A dictionary is written by Lexicographers for use in understanding the meanings and descriptions of words.

For instance, Pugnacious according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary describes a person with a quarrelsome nature which means they tend to argue or fight a lot.

The boy described as pugnacious must therefore be an aggressive boy who tends to be prone arguments or fights.
