When you relinquish something, you&#8217;re releasing control or ownership of it, often willingly. For example, if someone relinquishes their claim to an inheritance, they are giving up their right to that inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The antonym of &#8220;relinquish&#8221; should be a word that suggests retaining, keeping, or maintaining possession of something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Deny<\/strong> means to refuse or reject something, which isn&#8217;t the opposite of relinquishing because it doesn\u2019t necessarily involve giving up possession or control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Renounce<\/strong> means to formally declare abandonment or rejection, especially of a belief, cause, or claim. It is similar in meaning to relinquish, not its opposite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Possess<\/strong> is the correct antonym. To possess something means to have control over it or own it. If you possess something, you have not relinquished it, meaning the two actions are direct opposites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Abdicate<\/strong> refers to giving up a position of power, such as a monarch abdicating the throne. While similar to relinquish, it implies a formal or voluntary step down from a responsibility or role, making it closer in meaning to relinquish than to possessing something.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the antonym of &#8220;relinquish&#8221; is <strong>possess<\/strong>, as it refers to retaining or keeping control or ownership of something, directly opposing the act of giving it up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Antonym of relinquish select one: a. deny b. renounce c. possess d. abdicate The correct answer and explanation is: The correct answer is c. possess.
