Choose the antonym of 'affirm':

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Affirm means to state positively, declare as true, or confirm something.

Refuse means to indicate unwillingness to accept, give, or do something; it is the most appropriate opposite in this context, as it signifies a rejection rather than a confirmation.

Accept, Acknowledge, and Support are all synonyms or related terms that align with the meaning of "affirm."

Therefore, the correct choice is Refuse.
