    Solution

    Avert: Avert means to prevent or avoid something unpleasant or harmful from happening. It doesn't directly relate to the idea of giving permission or agreement. Assent: Assent means to agree to or approve of something, often by giving explicit consent or permission. It is a synonym for "consent" as both words imply giving approval or agreement. Disturb: Disturb means to interrupt or interfere with someone or something, often causing a disruption or agitation. It doesn't directly relate to the idea of giving permission or agreement. Dissent: Dissent means to disagree or withhold agreement with a prevailing opinion or authority. It is the opposite of "assent" and doesn't serve as a synonym for "consent."
