Melissa wanted to recant her statement as soon as she made it.


A. announce
B. close
C. take back
D. say again

Answer 1

C. take back.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using context clues like "as soon as she made it" shows a bit of a contradiction. With this, I was able to kind of guess.

To make sure, I searched the definition up.

"say that one no longer holds an opinion or belief, especially one considered heretical."
