Correct Answer: devastating


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The given sentence describes the real picture of warfare and contrasts it with the glorification of war by society. Devastating accurately conveys the idea that the reality of warfare is profoundly destructive, causing severe harm and suffering.

The meaning of the other options are as follows:

  • Harkening: This word means to listen or pay attention, which is not suitable in this context.
  • Inspiring: This word implies a positive or uplifting effect, which is opposite to the intended meaning.
  • Lengthening: This word refers to making something longer and doesn't convey the intended sense of destruction and horror.
