Alberta Police Cognitive Ability Test (APCAT) Practice Exam

Which verb means to contravene or breach?

Obey Violate Conform Respect

Correct Answer:

Violate

Explanation:

The meaning being tested is a verb that describes going against rules or laws. Violate is the word that fits this sense best because it directly means to break, contravene, or disobey a rule, law, or agreement. You violate a law, you violate a contract, or you violate terms of service—each use conveys actively going beyond what is permitted. Obey means to follow or comply with rules, so it is the opposite of violating. Conform means to align with standards or norms, which again implies following rather than breaking. Respect can mean regard or honor something, and while you can respect rules by following them, it does not inherently mean to breach or contravene.
