B
Correct answer
Explanation
'Rampage' means to rush around in a violent, uncontrollable manner causing damage. 'Riot' (violent disturbance), 'go berserk' (become violently out of control), and 'run amok' (behave uncontrollably) are all synonyms of violent, frenzied behavior. 'Cruet' is a small bottle for oil or vinegar at table, completely unrelated to rampaging.

'Rangy' means tall, slender, and long-limbed (often describing animals or people). 'Slender,' 'lean,' and 'lank' all describe thin, lean physical builds. 'Slander' means to make false and damaging statements about someone - it's a verb related to defamation, not physical appearance.

Correct answer
Explanation
'Random' means happening without a clear pattern, purpose, or order. 'Arbitrary,' 'haphazard,' and 'erratic' all describe things lacking order, pattern, or predictability. 'Arbiter' is a person or agency that judges or settles disputes, which is a noun referring to a judge - not an adjective describing randomness.
