Correct answers:
- They were killed by poison gas.
- Their homes were left in ruins from offensives.
- They faced disease and starvation.

Explanation: Civilians suffered from chemical attacks, bombardments and scorched regions that destroyed homes and infrastructure, and from blockades, food shortages, and epidemics. Civilians generally were not combatants who "died in battle."
