AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

**Clue:** A judge withdrawing from a case due to prior association = a classic legal scenario. **Answer: Option 2 - recused** (formal verb for a judge withdrawing due to conflict of interest). | Word | Meaning | Fit? | |---|---|---| | Recanted | withdrew a STATEMENT | wrong context | | Recused | withdrew from a case (conflict) | CORRECT | | Refrained | held back from an action | needs 'from doing X' | | Recouped | recovered (esp. money) | wrong context | **Trap:** All four start with 're-'. This tests vocabulary precision, not pattern matching. Only 'recused' carries the specific legal meaning.
