Question:

Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

Abrogate

Options:

Endure

Reveal

Extend

Repeal

Correct Answer:

Repeal

Explanation:

The most appropriate synonym of the word abrogate is repeal.

  • Abrogate means "to formally or officially cancel or repeal (a law, treaty, or other formal agreement)."
  • Repeal means "to formally or officially cancel or revoke (a law, treaty, or other formal agreement)."

Both words mean to cancel or revoke a law or treaty. However, abrogate is more formal and is often used in legal contexts.

The other choices are not as appropriate. Endure means "to continue to exist or last; to withstand." Reveal means "to make (something) known or visible." Extend means "to make or become longer or greater in extent."
