B: Any chance you could just accept "Baath" for "Baath Party?" The party is, well, a political party whereas your question just asks for a political group. The two aren't exactly the same thing.
E: I have no idea what textbook you are referring to here.
O: This feels like a very strange question/answer. I've certainly never heard it referred to as "the Oil Weapon" although I suppose that could be a term used in some places. But "Oil Embargo" I would argue is a much more common term, and heck, even "OPEC" could be argued to be a "weapon" used by KSA and the oil states in 1973.
X: But... "Extermination" doesn't begin with X? If you can't think of a good thing to put here (and to be fair I can't either) it might be better to just skip this letter. I didn't get it literally because I was looking for a word starting with X.
write "e____" for the X question, "al-____" for the Q question, etc.
