Question

aks 13: using context clues, what does the word
epugnant\ mean in paragraph 5 of the article, \us soldier admits killing unarmed afghans for sport?\
merciful
violent
offensive
questionable

Explanation:

The word "repugnant" means extremely distasteful or offensive. In the context of a US soldier admitting to killing unarmed Afghans for sport, such an act is highly offensive. "Merciful" means showing compassion, which is the opposite. "Violent" just refers to the use of force, not the level of offensiveness. "Questionable" is not as strong - "offensive" best captures the meaning of "repugnant".

Answer:

C. Offensive
