Florida Civics EOC Practice Test

What does it mean to nullify something?

1. To create

2. To ignore

3. To cancel

4. To enforce

The correct answer is: To cancel

Nullify means to cancel or invalidate something. Option A, to create, is incorrect because nullifying means to remove something that already exists, not to bring something new into existence. Option B, to ignore, is incorrect because nullifying means to actively cancel or invalidate something, not to simply disregard it. Option D, to enforce, is incorrect because nullifying is the opposite of enforcing - it means to cancel or make void, while enforcing means to uphold or make valid.
