The verb 'led' does not need to be followed with any preposition and the preposition 'to' must be written after the word 'king.' People are led to some place. Thus option 3 is the correct answer.

The young prince became king after his older brother decided to ______ the throne.
The word 'recur' means 'to occur again' and does not make any sense here. The word 'abduct' means 'to grab an individual by trickery or force' and does not fit here. The word 'abhor' means 'hate' and is not apt here. The word 'abdicate' means 'to give up' and conveys the correct meaning.
In the following question, a sentence has been given in direct/indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in indirect/direct speech
Tara said,"I will be visiting the place next month."
In indirect speech, the words of the speaker are changed. There needs to be a change in the tense as well, as the words have been spoken by the speaker in past so narrating them in present needs a change in the tense. The pronouns are changed accordingly too. The verb 'will' in direct speech would become 'would' in indirect speech. Thus option 3 is the correct answer.
In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the Idiom/ Phrase.
