research, I wanted to.............. it.
Select one:
O a. Abandon
o b. Investigate
O c. Delay
O d. Continue​

Answer 1

Answer:

Though my colleagues were in favour of ending our research, I wanted to continue it.

Explanation:

In the question, we have been asked to fill in the blank with the most suitable words out of the ones that were given to us. The sentence is:

Though my colleagues were in favour of ending our research, I wanted to ____ it.

Here we have to find out the contradicting word for the phrase ending our research.

The first word provided to us in the option is "abandon". "Abandon" means to leave, which is not contradictory to the phrase. "Investigate" does not suit the sentence either. The third word "delay" means to push something later in time. This also does not fit well with the sentence. "Continue" is the perfect contradictory word for ending. Hence in the blank, we will fill "continue".

Though my colleagues were in favour of ending our research, I wanted to continue it.
