put their arms on the ground
surrendered
refused to obey orders
put the arms in their place
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. surrendered.
To surrender is to give up control or possession of something, especially to an enemy. In the context of the question, the soldiers are giving up their weapons to the enemy.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A is not specific enough. The soldiers could be putting their arms on the ground for a number of reasons, such as to rest, to repair them, or to prepare for battle.
- Option C is not supported by the evidence. There is no indication in the question that the soldiers are refusing to obey orders.
- Option D is not consistent with the meaning of the word “laid down”. To lay something down means to put it in a horizontal position, not to put it in its place.
