The soldiers were asked to _ their weapons.
Correct answer: D. give up
- A. give away
- B. give in
- C. give out
- D. give up
Explanation
The correct answer is give up. In this context, the sentence implies that the soldiers are being instructed to stop using or relinquish their weapons. The other options do not fit the context: give away suggests transferring ownership, give in implies yielding without reference to weapons, and give out suggests distribution, which is also inappropriate. Therefore, give up is the only option that logically completes the sentence.
