Question

The army is not capable of fighting any more battles.

• B. The army is no fit in with any more battles.
• C. The army is not fit for any more battles.
• D. The army is not fit by any more battles.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The army is not fit for any more battles.

The given sentence means that the army does not meet adequate standards for fighting any more battles. In the phrases, the subject(The army) and the object(more battles) remain the same. Thus, the rest of the phrase must mean 'does not meet adequate standards'.

Option A is incorrect. In this sentence 'fit to' requires an action following it. Without that action, the sentence is incomplete and grammatically flawed. Thus, it cannot be the answer.

Option B is incorrect. 'fit in' means 'to go well together' but the sentence does not mention such a meaning anywhere. Further, 'no fit in' is does not make any sense. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option C is correct. In the given sentence 'not fit for' means 'does not meet adequate standards'. Thus, the sentence indicates that the army does not meet adequate standard for fighting any more battles. As it has the correct meaning, it is the correct answer.

Option D is incorrect. In the given sentence, 'not fit by' is not a real phrase in the English language. Thus, the sentence as a whole does not make any sense.
