Question

Roman soldiers fought relentlessly because ___________.

• A. They wanted to conquer Britain
• B. They had no other option than to 'fight and win'
• C. They had the hope of returning to their ships
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

They had no other option than to 'fight and win'

The Roman soldiers fought relentlessly because Caesar had already burnt down all of his own ships so that the soldiers would have no other option but to fight and win the battle. Hence option B is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because, despite the fact that they did want to conquer Britain, it wasn't a strong enough reason for them to stay and fight like they had nothing to lose. It was only because they had no other option but to fight that they fought relentlessly.

Option C is incorrect as they had no hope of returning to the ships with Caesar burning down all of them.

Option D is incorrect as we have already chosen option B as the correct answer.
