Does a drill sergeant encourage troops to circumvent rules?

Answer 1

Because you had to ask, and because I think this is probably for some kind of homework or test, look up the word "circumvent" in the dictionary. You probably just have to show that you understand what it means by answering correctly. The other fact you may need to know is whether a drill sergeant is encouraging troops to follow the rules or to break the rules, which is obvious. Of course he is encouraging them to follow the rules. With that in mind, the answer now depends on the meaning of "circumvent", which you are supposed to learn, or to show that you know. I would tell you, but I'm not going to do your homework.
