Option 2 : Abdicate - Abduction
The correct answer is Option 2.
- Abdicate means to 'to renounce high office or function ; to relinquish power'. Its noun form is 'Abdication'.
- Example - The king signed the instrument of abdication.
- Adopt means to 'to accept or start to use something new'. Its noun form is 'Adoption'
- Example - The committee recommended the adoption of safety procedures.
- Affect means to ' to pretend to be or have something'. Its noun form is Affectation.
- Example - Jacob's proper manner of speaking was an affectation he put on when he was surrounded by his colleagues.
- Abduction is the noun form of the verb 'Abduct' which means 'to seize or take a person away by force'.
- Example - The officers are questioning a woman about the child's abduction.
- From the above points, it is clear that Abduction is not the noun form of the word 'Abdicate'.
