Answer 2

Within A Farewell to Arms, the best definition of the word “battalions” would be:

a) Large numbers of soldiers or troops acting in unison

A battalion is a group of 300 to 800 soldiers that are divided into companies but act as a military unit. There is usually a lieutenant colonel who commands the battalion. In the text, the word is used to refer to a group of soldiers.
