Correct Answer: eulogised


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

Eulogised means to praise or extol, and in this case, it means that society often praises or speaks highly of war, which is consistent with the idea that war is glorified.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Sharpened: This word means to make something sharper, either in a literal sense (sharpening a knife) or in a metaphorical sense (sharpening one's skills). 

Cemented: This word means to make something firm or solid, often used metaphorically to describe the establishment of strong relationships or ideas. 

Sacrificed: This word means to offer something as a sacrifice or to give up something of value. 

Hence, eulogised best fits the idea that society often praises or speaks highly of war.
