Answer:

Recruits.

Explanation:

Synonyms are described as the words which display the meaning similar or nearly the same to another word or phrase.

As per the question, the word 'recruits' would be synonymous with 'conscripts' as they both convey a similar meaning or sense in the excerpt. The word 'conscripts' implies 'the individuals who are enlisted or enrolled compulsorily, especially in military or armed forces' which is quite similar to the meaning of word 'recruits' that means 'to enroll or enlist in the armed forces'. The author has employed the word satirically for 'the prisoners involved in U.S. army'. Therefore, both terms offer a similar meaning.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The best option is letter B) "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody," joked a character in one of Oscar Wilde's plays, "even one's own reflections."

Explanation:

When quoting what someone said, even if it is a character in a play or a story, we must use quotation marks. Notice that they will separate the character's words from the words of the person who is quoting. Also, if a period or a comma must appear, they should come inside the quotation marks, not outside. Therefore, letter B is the best option because it follows those instructions.

B) "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody," joked a character in one of Oscar Wilde's plays, "even one's own reflections."
