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
  2. to stop supporting or helping and so on
    Please, explain me this contradiction.

You have listed the meanings of “abandon” as a verb. “abandon” can also be a noun, with the required meaning. See, for example education.yahoo.com/reference/di … ry/abandon , from which I quote:

  1. Unbounded enthusiasm; exuberance.
  2. A complete surrender of inhibitions.

This meaning of “abandon” is relatively uncommon.
