Explanation:

Total war involves full mobilization of a nation's resources for war. Governments took direct control to support massive troop forces, and raised taxes to fund the large-scale war effort. The first option is incorrect because total war integrates the economy into war efforts, not ignores it. The fourth option is incorrect as borrowing supplies to draw neutrals into war was not a standard total war practice.

Answer:

• Governments equipped, transported, and supported millions of troops.
• Governments raised taxes to help pay for the war effort.
