What does it usually mean when someone is said to be in a foul temper?

  1. They are feeling joyful

  2. They are feeling angry

  3. They are feeling excited

  4. They are feeling neutral

The correct answer is: They are feeling angry

When someone is described as being in a foul temper, it indicates that they are experiencing feelings of anger or irritability. The term "foul" suggests a negative state of mind, typically associated with frustration or annoyance. This phrase captures the essence of being in a particularly bad mood, where the individual may respond negatively to situations or people around them. In contrast, the other options imply positive or neutral states of mind. Feeling joyful represents happiness, excitement suggests enthusiasm and energy, while feeling neutral indicates a lack of strong emotional feelings either way. None of these states align with the notion of a "foul temper," which is specifically linked to negative emotions.
