Check all that apply.The cheerful teenager is always belligerent.The belligerent countries at last decided to sign a peace treaty.The belligerent girl talked back to a teacher.The two days of vacation made them feel belligerent and relaxed.The United Nations sent a diplomat to the belligerent country.

Answer 7

The word "belligerent" is used correctly in the following sentences:

1. The belligerent countries at last decided to sign a peace treaty. (This sentence correctly uses "belligerent" to describe countries that are warring or hostile.)

2. The belligerent girl talked back to a teacher. (This sentence appropriately describes the girl as having an aggressive or hostile attitude.)

3. The United Nations sent a diplomat to the belligerent country. (This sentence correctly uses "belligerent" to describe a country that is engaged in conflict.)

The other sentences do not use "belligerent" correctly:

• The cheerful teenager is always belligerent. (This does not fit as it contradicts the description of being cheerful.)
• The two days of vacation made them feel belligerent and relaxed. (This sentence also contradicts the feelings associated with relaxation.)

So, the correct sentences are:

• The belligerent countries at last decided to sign a peace treaty.
• The belligerent girl talked back to a teacher.
• The United Nations sent a diplomat to the belligerent country.
