From the given options, identify the word which expresses a meaning opposite to the given sentence, with the highlighted word replaced by a word of the opposite meaning. I pledge to (A)/ assist you (B)/ in selecting (C)/ the perfect course.(D)
Options
- AA- disavow
- BB- aid
- CC - choosing
- DD - ideal
Correct answer
A. A- disavow
Step-by-step solution
Only option A 'disavow' (break a promise/ go back on your word) is opposite of pledge (promise). Thus it changes the meaning of the sentence. Rest of the options denote the synonyms of the bold ones. Hence option A is the correct answer.
