23. I have tried to ________________ him from going abroad. (COURAGE)
→ "Discourage" – verb meaning to prevent someone from doing something.
Note: "courage" → "discourage" is not direct, but the root is related in meaning. Actually, the word should be "discourage", which comes from "courage"? No — "courage" → "encourage", but "discourage" is the opposite. But the word in bracket is "COURAGE", so likely intended to be "discourage" or "deter"? Wait — perhaps it’s “dissuade”?
Wait — actually, the word in brackets is COURAGE, so we need to use a word derived from "courage".
But "courage" → "encourage" → "discourage"? That’s not a direct derivation.
Wait — perhaps it's "deter"? But that’s not from "courage".
Actually, let's re-read: “I have tried to __________ him from going abroad.” This is a common phrase: “deter” or “discourage”.
But since the base word is COURAGE, maybe it's meant to be "encourage"? But that would mean the opposite.
Wait — perhaps it's "discourage", even though it’s not directly from "courage"?
No — “discourage” is from “courage”, yes — *dis-* + *courage* → discourage.
Yes! So "discourage" is a valid word formed from "courage".
So: I have tried to discourage him from going abroad.
✔ discourage
---
24. This ________________ can be used both for good or evil. (KNOW)
→ "Knowledge" – noun, abstract concept.
✔ knowledge
---
25. She leads a ________________ life in a remote area of Scotland. (SOLITUDE)

✔ honourable
---
