One-word substitution

One-word substitution, asked very often: the defensive wall of a fort is a rampart; keep the fort words together: rampart (the wall), battlement (the notched top of the wall), moat (the water-filled ditch), bastion (a projecting part), citadel (the fortress within a city), bulwark (a defensive wall; figuratively, a protection).

यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: किले की रक्षा-दीवार rampart; किले के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: rampart (दीवार), battlement (दीवार का कंगूरेदार शीर्ष), moat (पानी भरी खाई), bastion (बाहर निकला हिस्सा), citadel (शहर के भीतर का दुर्ग), bulwark (रक्षा-दीवार; लाक्षणिक रूप से, सुरक्षा)।
