Meaning of "abandon" #1 (permalink) Sat Sep 17, 2011 10:35 am   Meaning of "abandon"
 

Dear Torsten!
Performing the quizze N 29 (meaning by the words, TOEFL test) I ran into difficulty with meaning of the word "abandon". In my opinion correct answer was absent among presented variants.
After checking I saw the correct answer. It was "freedom; impetuosity; enthusiasm". But it does not correspond to the meaning of the word "abandon":
1. to leave and never return to
2.to leave (a place) because of danger
3. to stop supporting or helping and so on
Please, explain me this contradiction.
