Question

The synonym of REVOKE is
A. Repudiate
B. Repeal
C. Impute
D. Force

Answer 1

Hint: Synonym may be a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the name as another word. The meaning of ‘REVOKE’ is ‘to officially cancel’ (it may be a decree, decision, or a promise).

Complete answer:
Let us individually analyse the answer to figure out the correct one
Option (A) ‘Repudiate’: is an incorrect answer because the meaning of ‘Repudiate’ is ‘refuse to simply accept or reject’ which isn’t just like the word revoke. For example, “The statement made by them indirectly repudiates the law”.
Option (B) ‘Repeal’: is a correct option because the meaning of ‘Repeal’ is “to officially make a law or act of parliament not valid” which is analogous to the meaning of revoke. As an example, “Unlike them they decided to repeal the act of parliament”.
Option (C) ‘Impute’: is an incorrect option because the meaning of ‘Impute’ is “to represent something” which isn’t the identical meaning as revoke. As an example, “R language is used to impute statistical data in data science”.
Option (D) ‘Force’: is an incorrect option because the meaning of force is “mental or moral strength or power” which is not the same meaning as revoke. For example, “War cannot be stopped by force”.

The University may revoke my friend’s diploma. Meaning the university may cancel his friend’s diploma. The opposite meaning of Revoke is often annulled, nullify, void, invalid, overrule, vacate, etc.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note:Synonym may be a word or expression as another name of something which might be interchangeable just like the nouns tongue and language.
