Based on what I understand, there is no change in how government ruled over the land from the past up to the current time.
War was waged not because there is a dire threat on the well-being of the nation but because their government leaders are intent on gaining more power (financial, influence) over other countries at the expense of the common people to satisfy their own selfish interest and vested needs..
This question is worded awkwardly
Literal meaning: you look like my aunt linda, close that door, math is my worst subject.
figurative meaning: shut your trap, the sun smiled down on us throughout the picnic, he has perfect vision but he’s blind all the same.

Assure could mean making sure something happens, to comfort or remove doubts from a person, or make someone sure of something.
If it's one word answers it could be persuading, guaranteeing, promising, convincing, reassure, satisfy, or tell.
I hope this helps without answer choices it's kind of hard to know what kind of answer you need. Have a great day!
