Invoke and Revoke
EnglishUsage of Paired Words
- AInvoke means to invite trouble for doing something and Revoke means to repay debts
- BInvoke means to use the law to achieve something and Revoke means to officially cancel permission or agreement
- CInvoke means to use the law to achieve something and Revoke means to ignore legal procedures
- DInvoke means to usher newness and Revoke means to stick to tradition
Explanation
To "invoke" the law is to call upon or use it as authority to achieve something; to "revoke" is to officially cancel a permission, licence or agreement. Option (B) gives both precisely. "Invoke" has nothing to do with inviting trouble or ushering in newness, and "revoke" is not ignoring legal procedure.
