Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Key idea: Abetment means giving help, support, or encouragement to someone, often in carrying out a wrongful act.

Closest meaning: assistance (help or support)

  • Why assistance fits: Assistance means providing help or support, which matches the idea of abetment.

  • Why the others are incorrect: Enmity means hostility or hatred; revenge means retaliation; reaction means a response. None of these mean providing help or encouragement.
