Answer 2

Thank you Writeacher. Does this mean I am completely wrong with both questions?

Answer 3

No. The search results were to help you with 2.

I think you're right for 1, but be sure to wait for Ms. Sue or Damon or someone to double-check.

Answer 4

Okay thank you! In the meantime, I will look through the search results and determine my answer for number two:)

Answer 5

I agree with Writeacher
Number 2 is NOT B or C
Engagement is not telling the other guy to take a long walk off a short pier.

Answer 6

1. is correct, so far, I hope.

Answer 7

Thank you Damon! I have done some research and its helped a little, but I am still confused with number 2. If it is not B or C, could it be A. collective security?

Answer 8

Yes, I agree. If you look up each of those words -- either individually or as two-word terms if needed -- you should see that "multilateral" is similar to "collective" in this context -- that is, that many (multi-) countries (-lateral or sides) work together (collective), not in isolation.

Answer 9

Thank you again Writeacher!
