Choose the option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word(s). Repugnant rules in the society should be repealed.

  1. Justified
  2. Enacted
  3. Abhorrent ✓
  4. Exemplary
Explanation

“Repugnant” means very unpleasant or disgusting, and so unacceptable. Abhorrent means hateful or detestable, so it is the closest.

The sentence says such rules should be repealed (cancelled). Nobody would repeal rules that are “justified” or “exemplary”, so those do not fit.
