A is correct ? rescinded is to reverse a decision, while reverted is to go back to the practice of previous action
The answer is RESCINDED. Even your AI attached in the app confirms it. Please make necessary corrections
my answer is reverted.....reverse means to go backward so as revert,rescind means to cancel
The correct answer is:
A. rescinded
Explanation:
The word "reversed" in this context means to undo or cancel a decision, which is closest in meaning to "rescinded" — meaning to officially revoke or cancel.
Let’s look at the other options:
B. dismissed – means to remove from employment or to disregard something, not exactly the same as reversing a decision.
C. implemented – means to put a decision or plan into action, which is the opposite of reversing.
D. reverted – means to return to a previous state, which is similar but not exactly the same as undoing a decision.
So, A. rescinded is the best choice!
