Key Points

• 'Abrogate' means to repeal or abolish a law, right or agreement.
• Its antonym is Uphold — to confirm, sustain or support.
• The trap is that 'abolish', 'revoke' and 'annul' are all *synonyms* of abrogate; in an antonym question they're the decoys.
• Read the instruction word (antonym vs synonym) carefully, then pick the odd-one-out that opposes the rest.
