If "pentitent" means "regret," what does "querulous" relate to?

Arguing
Complaining
Embracing
Forgiving

The correct answer is: Complaining

The term "querulous" specifically refers to a tendency to complain or express dissatisfaction in a petulant or whining manner. It describes a state of being inclined to find fault or express grievances. In sharp contrast to the other options, which suggest arguing, embracing, or forgiving, "complaining" accurately captures the essence of what "querulous" conveys. This relationship enhances the understanding of the word by providing a clear context in which it is used, highlighting its connection to discontent or annoyance.
