Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).
They attacked all regulations designed to emasculate student militancy?
Answer Details
The opposite meaning of the word "emasculate" is "strengthen".
To "emasculate" means to weaken or deprive of strength, while to "strengthen" means to make something stronger or more powerful.
In the given sentence, the regulations are being attacked, and it is stated that they are designed to "emasculate" student militancy. This means that the regulations are intended to weaken or limit the students' ability to be militant. Therefore, if they are being attacked, it implies that the attackers want to prevent the regulations from having that effect, and instead, they want to "strengthen" the students' ability to be militant.
