Question

q. the prefix \ab\ means away or off from. what can you conclude about the word \abrogate\ based on how it is used in this sentence?
but this rule is less ironclad than it may sound. in most circumstances, a joint tenant can easily, and unilaterally, abrogate the joint tenancy at any time before his or her death.
a. it relates to acceptance, e.g., accepting a situation.
b. it has to do with stirring up a situation or aggravating something.
c. it relates to doing away with something, like repealing a law.

Explanation:

The prefix "ab" means "away" or "off from". In the sentence, a joint tenant can unilaterally "abrogate" the joint tenancy. Option A is about acceptance, which doesn't match "away/off from". Option B is about stirring up, which also doesn't fit. Option C is about doing away with something (like repealing a law), which aligns with the prefix meaning and the context of ending the joint tenancy.

Answer:

C. It relates to doing away with something, like repealing a law.
