Answer 1

Abolish=formally put an end to (a system, practice, or institution)
So, B.

Yea it's B!

The answer is: B. End

You must know the meaning of the word abolish.

Abolish; To wreck, to end.

The only synonym here is B. "End"

Makes more sense? @retrospeckkid

Answer 6

Hey I answered correctly first! With the dictionary definition.

Answer 7

Well, I gave a thorough explanation that helped her understand it better. It shouldn't be about the medals but it should be about helping others, so don't go backfiring people just because you want the medal or praise for giving her the answer. @LeeEtchison

Answer 8

Hey, I wasn't backfiring, I was asking why, although I gave a dictionary definition that made it clear which answer was correct, I wasn't given a medal. I was trying to help him/her, I was just wanting to know why my help didn't seem to be appreciated. I often help people who have already given others the medal for their question, but still need more help. Please do not assume that I was just giving an answer to get a medal. @curlette123
