Answer:

The trenches were awful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trenches were long, narrow ditches dug into the ground where soldiers lived. They were very muddy, uncomfortable and the toilets overflowed. These conditions caused some soldiers to develop medical problems such as trench foot. PTSD was extremely common.
