Answer 1

The correct answers to this question would be alternatives A) "Mandatory conscription was imposed to enlist more soldiers for the war."

and E) "The government banned workers from going on strike."

This clearly shows that it was a total war, and that the priority at the moment was to fight it, and win it. It basically shows that the government wanted as many people as it could gather for the war, as well as trying to maintain production at home, in order not to lose the war for "collapsing" their homeland.

Answer 2

The answers are:

Mandatory conscription was imposed to enlist more soldiers for the war.

The government banned workers from going on strike.

Totla war is a commonly used phrase used to describe a state in which the whole power of a country is dedicated solely to win a war, no matter the ways, in this case in several nations during WWI the Government threatened factories with jail if they stopped production, allegedly under conspiracy or betrayal charges for not working hard enough for their countries, at the same time they did mandatory conscription to enlist more soldiers for the war.
