If my question gets removed again I will not understand why but, I believe it is very long. Why? it says "Antonym context clue" Abridge means to cut or shorten. Very long is the opposite of shorten hence the antonym context clue.

P.S To anyone that think my answer is wrong and tries to remove it again. Please explain to me why my answer is wrong. That would be much appreciated. Thanks!
