The correct answer is Option (1) → relinquish
Explanation:
- "Waive" means to refrain from insisting on or demanding something (such as a right, claim, or privilege).
- "Relinquish" also means to voluntarily give up or surrender something, similar to "waive."
- "Impose" means to force something unwelcome or unfamiliar to be accepted or put into place, which is the opposite of "waive."
- "Wave" refers to a gesture or action of moving one's hand or an object back and forth, and it does not convey the same meaning as "waive."
- "Wither" means to shrivel or fade away, which is unrelated to the meaning of "waive."
Therefore, the word "relinquish" is the closest in meaning to "waive." |
