    • Annihilate

    • Intrenchment

    • Sagacious

    Correct Answer
    A. Skirmish
    Explanation
    A skirmish refers to a fight or clash between small groups of troops. It typically involves a brief and limited engagement, often serving as a preliminary or minor conflict within a larger battle or war. Skirmishes are characterized by their smaller scale and less organized nature compared to major battles. They often occur when two opposing forces encounter each other unexpectedly or during reconnaissance missions. Skirmishes are important for gathering information, testing the enemy's strength, and disrupting their plans.

  • 4. 

    The scene is Chapter 16 provided descriptive and vivid terms. Which of these sentences appears on pages 102-103?

    • A sputtering of musketry was always to be heard. Later, the cannon had entered the dispute. In the fog-filled air their voices made a thudding sound. The reverberations were continual. This part of the world led a strange, battleful existence

    • The youth leaned his breast against the brown dirt and peered over at the woods and up and down the line.

    • The youth wished to launch a joke--a quotation from newspapers. He desired to say, "All quiet on the Rappahannock," but the guns refused to permit even a comment upon their uproar. He never successfully concluded the sentence.

    • The men were disheartened and began to mutter. They made gestures expressive of the sentence: "Ah, what more can we do?" And it could always be seen that they were bewildered by the alleged news and could not fully comprehend a defeat.

    • His friend, recently aroused, was still very drowsy. He looked behind him until his mind took in the meaning of the movement. Then he sighed. "Oh, well, I s'pose we got licked," he remarked sadly.

    • "Mebbe, it wa'n't all his fault--not all together. He did th' best he knowed. It's our luck t' git licked often," said his friend in a weary tone. He was trudging along with stooped shoulders and shifting eyes like a man who has been caned and kicked.

    Correct Answer(s)

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The youth wished to launch a joke--a quotation from newspapers.
