Discussion
One of the legacies of the Roman legions was discipline. In the legions, military law prevailed and discipline was brutal. Discipline on the battlefield kept units obedient, intact and fighting, even when the odds and conditions were against them.
Which one of the following statements best sums up the meaning of the above passage?
Answer: A
The best summary is Thorough regimentation was the main reason for the efficiency of the Roman legions even in adverse circumstances.
The passage says discipline kept units obedient, intact and fighting even when the odds and conditions were against them. Regimentation is strict discipline, and the option restates that effect.
The passage calls the discipline brutal but says nothing about the men being treated as animals. 'Legacies' in the passage means what the legions left behind, not what they inherited from seniors. And the passage says discipline helped despite adverse odds; it does not say the discipline caused those odds, so the last option reverses cause and effect.
