What does the term 'abduct' mean?

• A. To borrow
• B. To invite
• C. To capture by stealth
• D. To abduct

Answer: (D)

Abduct means to take someone away by force, essentially to kidnap. Among the options, the best choice is the one that repeats the word itself, because it directly states the meaning of the term in a dictionary-like sense. The other options describe related actions that aren’t the definition: borrowing is using something temporarily, inviting is asking someone to come, and while kidnapping can involve secrecy, the core idea of abduct is taking someone away by force rather than simply “by stealth.” So the option that uses the word itself captures the exact meaning.
