Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer
Rescind
Explanation
The word Rescind is spelled correctly. It is a verb that means to revoke, cancel, or repeal a law, order, or agreement.
The other options are misspelled. Reproch is missing an 'a' and should be spelled "Reproach" (to express disapproval). Raucuos has inverted vowels at the end and should be spelled "Raucous" (harsh, loud noise). Rebucke has an extra 'c' and should be spelled "Rebuke" (sharp disapproval).
Key Points
In vocabulary exams, words starting with silent or blended sounds like the "sc" in rescind are common targets. Associating "rescind" with similar legal or formal vocabulary like "scissors" or "ascend" can help you remember the correct "sc" letter combination.
