Question

Capitulate mean to stand firm True or false

Answer 1

To capitulate means to finally agree to do something you did not want to do in the first place. Usually, that agreement comes after consulting with other team members.

An army can capitulate to another army in a conflict when it cannot longer have any chance to defeat its opponent.  

The answer to the question is false because, to capitulate or surrender means exactly the opposite to stand firm. Sometimes, you can capitulate under certain conditions or terms, which can be negotiated and in other times, you can capitulate or surrender completely outright.

  After the United Sates lunched two atomic bombs in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, The Japanese surrendered to the United states unconditionally. In other words, they capitulated thus avoiding any more lost of life.

Answer 2

Hi there! :)

That would be false, the meaning of the word is exactly the opposite: "cease to resist an opponent", as one dictionary would put it.

*You would usually find this word in historically-related pieces of writing :)

Hope this helps :)
