These documents have to be reviewed to determine what actually happened. Something's amiss, because if they actually approved your AOS, it was based upon an approved I-130, then they can't deny the I-130 after granting the I-485, they have to rescind it, which is a different notice, to which you have to respond if you oppose it.
