sentence2_structure: Range<>is<>the maximum horizontal distance traveled by a projectile$$$the maximum horizontal distance<>traveled<>by a projectile
sentence1: At shorter ranges, the slant distance increases rapidly with shallower trajectories, offsetting the higher striking velocities and, thus, longer fuze-limited travel of the projectiles before detonating.
sentence2: Range is the maximum horizontal distance traveled by a projectile.
question: What is the maximum horizontal distance traveled by a projectile?
