Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. resisted.
The rebels held out for about a month, which means they fought against the enemy for that period of time. This is an example of resistance.
The other options are not correct because they do not describe the rebels’ actions.
- Option A, waited, is not correct because the rebels were not simply waiting for something to happen. They were actively fighting against the enemy.
- Option B, retreated, is not correct because the rebels did not give up and run away. They continued to fight even though they were outnumbered and outgunned.
- Option C, bargained, is not correct because the rebels did not try to negotiate with the enemy. They were determined to win the battle.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. resisted.
