Correct Answer: to be at war with its own people


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The word "it's" in the original sentence is not a possessive pronoun. This is the contraction of "it is" or "it has". It should be replaced with the correct possessive pronoun, "its".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The government appears to be at war with its own people ."
