Correct Answer: alerted


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : Alerted is the most appropriate word in the context of the sentence, which means to be notified or informed about something, in this case, being informed and prepared to control floods.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

  • Warned : This refers to the idea of being informed or cautioned about something.
  • Awakened : It means to be awakened from sleep or a state of rest, which does not fit the context of being prepared for flood control.
  • Wanted : It means desired or required, but it does not convey the idea of being informed or prepared to control floods in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The army has been alerted to be ready to control the floods.
