Equivocal - confusing or ambiguous - сомнительный
The findings of the study were equivocal - the two researchers had different opinions on what the results signified.
Acrimony - bitterness and ill will - язвительность, желчность
The acrimony between the president and vise-president sent a clear signal to voters: the current administration was imperiled.
Veracious - truthful - правдивый
While we elect our leaders in the hope that every word they speak will be veracious, history has shown that such a hope is naive.
Impertinent - being disrespectful; improperly forward or bold - нахальный, дерзкий
Dexter, distraught over losing his pet dachshund Madeline, found the police officer questions impertinent - after all, he thought, did she have to pry into such details as to what Madeline's favorite snack was.
Prevaricate - to speak in an evasive way - увиливать, говорить уклончиво
The cynic quipped, "There is not much variance in politicians; they all seem to prevaricate".
