Which option defines 'military' as done or made by soldiers?

• A. related to soldiers, the army, or armed conflict
• B. done or made by soldiers
• C. a government department that is in charge of a specific task or subject
• D. a fashion

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is recognizing a sense of the word that names authorship or origin—something being done or made by the soldiers themselves. When we say something is done or made by soldiers, we’re attributing the action or creation to the armed forces, which is a specific usage of military. This focuses on who performed the action, not just on a general relation to soldiers or war. The broader sense that military means related to the soldiers, army, or armed conflict is close, but it’s about association rather than origin. The other options point to a government department or to fashion, which aren’t relevant to the idea of actions or items produced by soldiers.
