[amp_mcq option1=”Cancel” option2=”Repeal” option3=”Obliterate” option4=”Abrogate” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: Abrogate.
To abrogate is to formally put an end to something, especially a law or treaty. It is a more formal word than “cancel” or “repeal,” and it suggests that the rule is being completely and permanently removed.
- Cancel means to stop something from happening or being used. For example, you might cancel a meeting or cancel a subscription.
- Repeal means to formally withdraw or cancel a law or regulation. For example, the government might repeal a law that has been found to be unconstitutional.
- Obliterate means to destroy something completely, so that it no longer exists. For example, you might obliterate a document by burning it or erasing it from a computer.
In the context of the question, the only option that makes sense is “abrogate.” The other options do not suggest that the rule is being completely and permanently removed.
