A. to take away (take away and get rid of are the same thing.)

<span>D. to provide (to provide is the opposite of to get rid off)</span>
<span> Answer: D. to provide</span>
<span>By
definition divest means ’ to deprive something’ – a property, title, authority
or even dress or clothing. Among the choices the best answer would be letter D:
to provide. To provide is to give something. To control is to establish
authority over another which is a bit off when paired against divest. To devise
is to plan or make something new out if the already existing thing in front. And
when paired against divest, it just does not fit, somehow.</span>
The best answer is D because it has incorrect grammar, and uses slang/jargon and a dialect known as ebonics that was typically present in black communities during this time.
