    What had Mr. Armin taught his students in fencing class never to do?

    • Face an opponent

    • Stab an opponent

    • Advance on an opponent

    Correct Answer
    A. Retreat from an opponent
    Explanation
    Mr. Armin taught his students in fencing class never to retreat from an opponent. This suggests that retreating is considered a disadvantageous move in fencing. It is likely that Mr. Armin emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong and assertive stance while facing an opponent, rather than backing away or showing signs of weakness. By teaching his students not to retreat, Mr. Armin aimed to instill in them the mindset of being proactive and taking control of the fencing match.
