Fill in the blank with the correct word from the options given below:

The king ________ the throne voluntarily.

accessed

adopted

abdicated

abided

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1: accessed -> means to gain entry or obtain; doesn't fit the context of giving up power.

Option 2: adopted -> means to take up or accept; not used with "throne" in this manner.

Option 3: abdicated -> means to voluntarily renounce or give up a position of power, especially a throne.

Option 4: abided -> means to accept or tolerate; grammatically and contextually incorrect here.

Hence, Option 3: abdicated -> "Abdicate the throne" is the correct phrase meaning to voluntarily give up royal power. The word "voluntarily" in the sentence is a key indicator that the king is renouncing his position by choice, which is exactly what abdication means. -> correct
