网考网参考答案：B
网考网解析：
Abate means to "diminish or reduce," and augment means to "add to or increase." The word abdicate, while it sounds similar to abate, means "to give up power or rights," which is not an antonym of abate. Both annihilate and lessen have meanings similar to abate. Contradict means to "deny." 查看试题解析出处>>
