Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, to rescind means to overturn or quash something. So, look for the answer choice that contains synonyms. In choice (B), to impede means to block, not to facilitate or ease, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), to inundate means to flood or overflow, not weaken. In choice (D), to obtrude means to impose, not comply or obey, so eliminate that choice. Choice (A) is the only one that contains synonyms. To flout means to defy or reject something.
