Answer:
D) The flower garden was vibrant, it was very lively!
Explanation:
Let's go over the rest of the answers to see why they're wrong.
A) words like "rather" or "instead" indicate that two clauses or parts of a sentence contradict one another. so truculent and easygoing are antonyms.
B) it is true that to be truculent means to not give up easily, it's just not answering the question itself. "she didn't give up easily" is just defining the word, not using a synonym as a context clue.
C) "angry as a bear" is just an example of a simile. totally irrelevant.
D) is correct because vibrant and lively are synonyms, and the text uses one word to define another, therefore creating a relationship between the two words that mean the same thing.
It should be, "We'll teach you how to spell 'well'", not 'good'.
In order to have an essay that speaks of your personality is to allow proper speech and voice to come through. Writing is often very informative and personal and you're often asked to rephrase summaries or paragraphs in your own words for a reason- your voice. You do not want to type or write the way you speak or talk, but rather use expressive words, literature, figurative language and imagery to seep through and create writing specific to your voice and personality. In speech you are allowed to take this to the next level however and vocalize this more. If you are talking a means of presentation to an audience you want to start as if talking to a friend and engage the audience with a hook just like you would an essay, you want to speak more than examples like "Thank you for being here" Or "Welcome", The words you say can be emphasized to have more meaning, elevate the way you speak with your words and pronunciation that further vocalizes opinions/facts and speaks out to a bigger audience and draws them in for more. You want to use personal memories and facts to expose personality and interests, but not in a narrative way that comes out as "I like the color blue" or "I personally really like cats and that's why...", expressive literature and technology, enigmatic/informative and inventive words, emphasize your contextual facts, evidences, phrases AND words with your personal voice.
I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for as an answer but based on what you asked this is the best I can give for now lol.

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."
