Question

What of the following best describes the area called no-man’s-land?

Answer 1

It would be the 2nd, it was an area between 2 trenches, and the distance between 2 of them was about 250 yards.

Answer 2

The second answer is correct.

The term no man's land makes an analogy to the war fields that are usually surrounded by trenches on both sides, with each side aimed at invading the territory of the other. In this context, no man's land is the portion of land that lies all around the perimeter of distance between the two rival trenches. In that space there is no dominion until one side wins the war.
