Question

1. massive

3. limited

I had answered focused, and got it wrong on the exam. Now I just have to know the right answer. Please advise. Thank you

Answer 1

I think the question is looking for a limited response. That would be the opposite of massive retaliation.

Answer 2

"Focused" is not one of the choices here.
