Identify the word that is closest in meaning to the word Retract :

Recover

Regain

Recede

Avenge

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1: Recover -> means to get back or regain something lost, not to withdraw or take back.

Option 2: Regain -> means to obtain or achieve something again after losing it, unrelated to withdrawing.

Option 3: Recede -> means to move back or withdraw, closely matching the meaning of retract (to pull back or withdraw).

Option 4: Avenge -> means to take revenge or retaliate, completely different from retract.

Hence, Option 3: Recede -> Both "retract" and "recede" share the core meaning of moving backward or withdrawing. Retract means to pull back or take back (a statement, claim, or object), while recede means to move back or away, making them the closest synonyms among the given options -> correct
