Lord Buddha ……… his kingship and become a hermit.

Abolished
Abated
Abdicated
Abandoned

The correct answer is C. Abdicated.

To abdicate means to give up one’s position of power or authority. In this case, Lord Buddha abdicated his kingship and became a hermit.

The other options are incorrect.

  • Abolished means to put an end to something completely. Lord Buddha did not put an end to his kingship, he simply gave it up.
  • Abated means to become less severe or intense. Lord Buddha’s kingship did not become less severe or intense, he simply gave it up.
  • Abandoned means to leave something or someone completely. Lord Buddha did not leave his kingship completely, he simply gave it up.

I hope this helps!
