Question

Which of the following matches the word "war"?

a) fight with
b) become less antagonistic
c) consider
d) roll

Answer 1

The word 'war' corresponds to the phrase 'fight with', and is a state of armed conflict. In a word-changing exercise, the words 'battle', 'tattle', 'beetle', and 'betten' are formed. Historically, U.S. military's Plan D outlines strategies for war scenarios.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "war" best matches with the phrase 'fight with'. The other options provided do not appropriately describe the concept of 'war'. War is typically a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.

To reflect lexical changes, let's consider the following word changes exercise:

1. Write the word battle.
2. Change the first consonant in the word to the twentieth letter in the alphabet, resulting in the word tattle.
3. Change the first consonant back to b and change the a to ee, which gives us beetle.
4. Change the first consonant in the word to the fifth consonant in the alphabet and change the second e to the fourteenth letter in the alphabet, resulting in the word betten.

In reference to a historical concept, the U.S. military plan for war, known as Plan D, had this as a strategy: If equally matched, we can offer battle; if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy; if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.
