Choose the word which is the nearest opposite to the meaning of the bold word:
I wish I could pursue my studies.
‘Pursue’ means ‘follow or chase (someone or something)’, the opposite of pursue should be ‘abandon’ which means ‘give up completely (a practice or a course of action). Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer. ‘Discontinue’ means cease from doing or providing (something), especially something that has been provided on a regular basis. ‘Restrain’ means to control the actions or behavior of someone by force, especially in order to stop them from doing something. ‘Deter’ means discourage (someone) from doing something by instilling doubt or fear of the consequences.
