Q: Answer-I think it would be a stunningly bad idea to give in to the threats of the anarchist tendency.

The phrasal verb give in means to finally agree to what someone wants, after refusing for a period of time. The phrasal verb hold out means to continue to defend yourself against an enemy or attack without being defeated. Back down- withdraw a claim or assertion in the face of opposition. Give up- to stop trying to guess. Give out- to last no longer, or to work no longer. Back up- to gradually collect or gather in one place, esp. traffic or a liquid. I think it would be a stunningly bad idea to hold out to the threats of the anarchist tendency.
