Evict a mob in a riot, being antagonistic? (9)
I believe the answer is:
combative
'antagonistic?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'evict a mob in a riot' is the wordplay.
'in a riot' is an anagram indicator.
'evict'+'a'+'mob'='evictamob'
'evictamob' anagrammed gives 'COMBATIVE'.
'being' is the link.
(Other definitions for combative that I've seen before include "Pugnacious" , "Eager to fight, aggressive" .)
