Directions: Choose the most appropriate word to fill the blank (iv)

Two soldiers of rival forces treat each other as an (i) ________ and are prepared to (ii) ________ each other down. However, had the two met each other in peacetime at say a restaurant or a bar, one might even have given the other a (iii) ________ or offered (iv) ________ help.

The phrase 'offered (iv) ________ help' requires an adjective describing what kind of help. 'Monetary help' means financial assistance or help involving money. Option A 'enemy' doesn't make sense as a modifier for help. Option C 'treat' is a verb and doesn't fit grammatically. Option D 'shoot' is also a verb and makes no sense in this context. 'Monetary' is the only adjective that logically describes a type of help that might be offered in a peacetime social setting.
