Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation:

The verb 'abridge' means to shorten or make something more concise.

  • expand — means to make larger or longer; this is the direct opposite of 'abridge' and is therefore the correct antonym.

  • condense — means to make shorter or more concise; this is a synonym of 'abridge', so it is not the antonym.

  • build — means to construct or create; it does not express the opposite of shortening.

  • offset — means to counterbalance or compensate; it is not related to the concept of making something longer.

Correct answer: expand.
