    The word "arma" is associated with the words "weapons" and "armour". This suggests that "arma" refers to a category or type of objects that are used for protection and combat. The word "chariot" and "shoulder" do not have a direct connection to "arma", so they are not the correct answer. Therefore, the correct answer is "weapons, armour".
