Question

Find the synonym of the underlined word.
At the battle of Gallipoly, the British forces had to retreat in the face of Turkish offence.

• A. Attack
• B. Pursue
• C. Withdraw
• D. Intercept
• E. Move fast

Answer 1

The correct option is C Withdraw

'Retreat' means (of an army) withdraw from enemy forces as a result of their superior power or after a defeat.

"the French retreated in disarray"

In this context, "At the battle of Gallipoly, the British forces had to retreat in the face of Turkish offence", 'retreat' means to withdraw. Hence, option C is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
