You should post this question again and try to get more answers I would choose chronological because the others don’t seem to fit but im not 100%
It may have been the only way.
The suitable word that can be used to replace the word "<em>rescinded</em>" in the passage is "<em>cancelled</em>."
The suitable replacement word is also called a synonym. In the passage "cancel" or "to take away" can replace "rescind," which is the root word of "rescinded."
This makes sense because the subordinating phrase "but the local officials have continued ..." that follows the main clause shows a negation of the action implied in the main clause. The antonym or opposite in meaning of the word "rescind" is "continue."
Thus, "cancel" or "take away" has similar meaning as the word "rescind" and can suitably replace it without changing the meaning.

Sentences? How about this:
Hitting the tree put a dent in my car.
I found a stash of candy hidden under my brother's pillowcase.
Or if you need them both in one sentence:
I tried to get to the stash of food behind the metal door, but I could barely make a dent.
Is that what you needed?
