Question:

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.

Formally put an end to a system, practice, or institution

Options:

Stop

Destroy

Kill

Abolish

Correct Answer:

Abolish

Explanation:

The correct option is abolish. It means "to formally put an end to something, especially a system, practice, or institution." The other options are not correct substitutes.

  • Stop means to bring something to an end, but it does not necessarily mean to do so formally.
  • Destroy means to completely ruin or put an end to something, but it is often used in a more violent or destructive sense than abolish.
  • Kill means to cause the death of someone or something, which is a much more extreme action than abolish.
