Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e Liberate
"Liberate" is a suitable option.
"Vanquish" refers to complete defeat or conquest.
The word "liberate" describes the exact opposite of this, which means releasing or freeing.
Compared to other options:
"Measure": This verb denotes assessing or determining the size, amount, or degree of something. It has nothing to do with conquering or defeating.
"Engage": It refers to taking part in or being interested in something.
"Instill": This is another word for the process of firmly but gradually establishing a concept or attitude.
