Question

Which phrase is closest in meaning to the word in italics?

The two nations formed an alliance when a third country threatened their security.

A long-lasting friendship
B strong relationship
Cinsurance policy
D definite strategy

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of alliance: a union or association formed for mutual benefit, especially between countries or organizations.

Insurance policy and definite strategy make no sense. However long-lasting friendship makes more sense than a strong relationship. The two nations are friends against the third party.
