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'.

Therefore, Option 2 is the correct answer.

  •  Affect also means to 'to make something or someone change in a particular way'.
    • Example - Mary was deeply affected by the tragedy.
