To renounce or reject something formally.

Ravenous Abjure Justifiable Ingenious

Correct Answer:

Abjure

Explanation:

Abjure means to renounce or reject something formally. It’s used for a solemn, official release of beliefs, allegiances, or claims, often done in a formal declaration or oath. For example, someone might abjure their former religion or allegiance in a ceremony, signaling a deliberate and public rejection. The other options don’t fit this sense: ravenous describes extreme hunger, justifiable refers to something capable of being justified, and ingenious means clever or inventive. Only abjure captures the formal act of renouncing.
