Read the short passage below and determine the most appropriate single word to logically complete the author's argument.
Cevap:The legal doctrine of stare decisis dictates that courts should generally adhere to precedent. However, the supreme court has stated that precedent may be overturned if the original ruling relied on demonstrably outdated factual assumptions. In the current case, the respondent has conclusively proven that the technological assumptions underlying the relevant precedent from 1995 are now completely obsolete. Therefore, according to the court's own established standard, it is highly likely that the court will decide to 【overturn】 the 1995 precedent.
Cevap
overturn (or a synonymous term such as reverse or overrule)
The author sets up a clear conditional relationship: if a precedent relies on outdated facts, it may be overturned. The author then immediately provides a premise stating that the 1995 precedent in question relies on obsolete (outdated) technological assumptions. The only logical way to complete this line of reasoning, relying strictly on the text provided, is to conclude that the court will overturn, reverse, or overrule the precedent.
