Question

abraham lincoln is known for many things. he grew up in a log cabin. he was the 16th u.s. president. and he abolished enslavement. but did you know that he was once a skilled wrestler?
people learned this in 1858. lincoln was running for the u.s. senate in illinois. he ran against stephen douglas. lincoln and douglas wanted voters to hear them. but there was no tv or radio back then. so, the two men traveled all over illinois. they held seven debates. they argued about enslavement. it was america’s most serious problem.
there were some light moments in the debates. douglas said that lincoln was once a skilled wrestler. some claim that lincoln won more than 300 wrestling matches. and he lost only one. but those numbers might not be true.
wrestling then wasn’t like it is today. it didn’t take place in a gym. there weren’t any padded mats. no judges watched the wrestlers. lincoln’s matches probably took place outside a store. where? in new salem, illinois. that’s where lincoln worked when he was young.

question 3
which means the opposite of the word abolish?
a. arrange
b. face
c. teach
d. allow

Explanation:

To find the opposite of "abolish" (which means to do away with or put an end to), we analyze the options:

• Option A: "arrange" means to organize, not the opposite of abolish.
• Option B: "face" means to confront or be opposite in position, not related to the meaning of abolish.
• Option C: "teach" means to instruct, not the opposite of abolish.
• Option D: "allow" means to permit, which is the opposite of abolish (since abolish is about ending or forbidding, allow is about permitting or letting exist).

Answer:

D. allow
