Is it correct?
1)You have an aberration from the truth.-> technically correct, but the use of aberration is very unusual and makes the sentence sound humorous.2)She abhors cats. - correct
3)The teacher was brusque. - correct
4)She cajoled her sister into buying some sweets. - correct
5)He is going to cajole a new car out of his father. - hm... I'm not sure about this one, but I think it's OK
6)He is a callous man. - correct
7)She is avaricious.- correct
8)His pecuniary avarice is making him withdrawn. - Pecuniary avarice is correct, but not used in everyday English (I don't think I've ever heard or read it anywhere). Since this is about a character trait, and hence something that's not temporary, I would not use Present Cont in this sentence, but probably Present Perfect, e.g. His pecuniary avarice has made him withdrawn.
9)he will never acquiesce.- correct
10)The fruit appeased his hunger. - correct
11) Appease my curiosity. - correct
Most of those sentences, although correct sound strange. These are not commonly used words or collocations, e.g.
- appease one's hunger - more commonly you would hear, e.g. satisfy one's hunger
- appease one's curiosity -> satisfy one's curiosity
- She's avaricious -> she is greedy

I think these are all correct, well done!
Please be aware some of these words like aberration, avarice, brusque, and cajole are in the English dictionary but are very uncommon. I am native speaker and I had to look up these words in the dictionary because I have never heard of them. If you spoke the words I mentioned in the street, the average person would understand you. I just wanted to make sure you know that :)
