Answer:

B. Forbidden.

Explanation:

The word "taboo" refers to anything that is 'illegal', 'forbidden', or 'prohibited' from being spoken out. It usually has a negative connotation in its use. And it is used for any word, topic, or even anything that a person is prohibited or forbidden from talking about it. The reason for its prohibition can either be repulsive or it is too sacred for it to be openly spoken about.

Synonyms are those words that have the same meaning with the original or given word. And in the given passage, the word that best offers the synonym for the word "taboo" is "forbidden".

Which sentences in this excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson's speech "War Message" argue that offense is the best defense for
zhenek [66]

The sentence from this excerpt that stresses that America should take an offensive stand to defend themselves is:

"It is common prudence in such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all."

Even though the United States wanted to maintain an armed neutrality, President Woodrow Wilson argued to change to an offensive strategy because German submarines were attacking merchant ships, and they were unable to protect them once they had been attacked. This is why Woodrow Wilson calls to destroy the German submarines before they could cause any damage.
