Choose the ANTONYM of the word ‘disenfranchise’ in the given sentence.
The parliament of Tonoco authorised the king to take over the reins of the government and disable the power of the council of ministers.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Authorised.
"Disenfranchise" implies taking away power or rights (specifically the council of ministers' power).
"Authorised" contrasts with this by indicating that the parliament gave the king the official permission or authority to take control.
Therefore, "authorised" is the correct antonym here because it denotes granting authority or power, which is the opposite of disenfranchising or disabling power.
