The word mendacious means not telling the truth lying . It is an adjective used to describe a person or a statement that is untruthful. All three sentences use the word incorrectly Sentence I The mendacious breeze was very relaxing. This is an incorrect use. A breeze cannot be truthful or untruthful it can be described as gentle , cool , or strong . Sentence II She held the mendacious cup carefully so as not to spill the tea. This is also an incorrect use. A cup is an object and cannot be deceitful. A cup might be brittle or fragile . Sentence III The mendacious book was so heavy she could barely lift it. This is another incorrect use. A book cant be untruthful in this context it can be heavy or light , or perhaps deceitful in a metaphorical sense e.g., a mendacious book of lies, but not in a way that relates to its physical weight.
