Conflict with/contradict with
Their testimonies _______ with each other.

Are at odds, conflict, contradict - do all these three phrases/word fit here? Are the any other ones that would be fine too and have the same meaning like above?

Thank you for your help :)

Answer

Both 'are at odds' and 'conflict' would work. The verb 'contradict' wouldn't, because of the word 'with' after the gap.

Answer

Thanks guys. I got it now :)

Answer

To add to what Su.Ki said, "Their testimonies contradict each other" is a correct English sentence, but it doesn't fit the pattern.

Also: conflict/contradict: "conflict" means the testimonies don't agree on all of the important points; "contradict" means they are the exact opposite of each other.

A: "First he put on his left sock, then his right sock, then his pants, then his blue shirt.
B: "First he put on his pants, then his left sock, then his right sock, then his green shirt.
The testimonies conflict with each other, in some details but not all.

A: "X started the fight by hitting Y first."
B: "Y started the fight by hitting X first."
The testimonies contradict each other.
