The meanings of the given words are as follows:

expected; strange Convivial: (of an atmosphere or event) friendly, lively, and enjoyable
Amenable: open and responsive to suggestion; easily persuaded or controlled

Taciturn: (of a person) reserved or uncommunicative in speech; saying little

Voluble: (of a person) talking fluently, readily, or incessantly
Turgid: swollen and distended or congested
Pendulous: hanging down loosely
Jocular: fond of or characterized by joking; humorous or playful
Therefore, it can be observed that option B i.e. ‘amenable, docile’ forms an antonym- antonym pair of ‘recalcitrant’.
