Breach |
The most appropriate synonym of the given word Disrupt is Breach.
The two words are similar in that they both suggest the idea of interfering with something. However, the word disrupt has a more general meaning, while the word breach has a more specific meaning that is focused on breaking or violating something, especially an agreement or a law. In the sentence "The protest disrupted traffic," the speaker is not just saying that the protest interrupted traffic, but that the protest also violated the law by blocking the road. Therefore, the word "breach" is the most appropriate synonym for the word "disrupt" in this context. The other words on the list are not as appropriate synonyms for disrupt. The word injure means to cause harm to someone or something. The word arrange means to put things in order or to make plans. The word organize means to arrange or order things in a systematic way. These words do not convey the same sense of interfering with something as the word disrupt.
