The clue tells you that whatever Clovis did to paganism, he did it in favor of Christianity, so he must have rejected the former. Look to eliminate words that don’t match “reject” or “give up.” Both legitimize and espouse mean the opposite of what you’re looking for, so eliminate (D) and (E). Neither desiccate, which means to dry out, nor exacerbate, which means to make worse, means “reject” or “give up,” so eliminate choices (A) and (C). Only abjure and renounce match the predicted answer, so (B) and (F) are correct.
