Concept: The word ‘indulge’ refers to permitting oneself to revel in the pride of a specific something or someone. Let us examine the alternatives given to us on this question: Option (a.) , 'avoid', refers to avoid or forestall oneself from doing (something) . Therefore, option (a.) is inaccurate because it isn't precisely antonymous to the given word ‘indulge’. Option (b.) , ‘abstain', refers to restrain oneself from doing or playing something. Therefore, option (b.) is accurate because its meaning is contrary to that of the word ‘indulge’. Option (c.) , ‘forego', refers to the head without (something desirable) . Therefore, option (c.) is inaccurate because it isn't precisely antonymous to the given word ‘indulge’. Option (d.) , ‘neglect', refers to failing to take care of properly; now no longer paying right interest to; disregard.
