The jewels have been **stolen** from her bedroom
EnglishSynonyms
- Aembezzled
- Basserted
- Cyielded
- Dabdicated
Explanation
'Stolen' means taken dishonestly, and 'embezzled' means stolen or misappropriated by someone in a position of trust, which fits jewels taken from her bedroom. 'Asserted' means stated firmly, 'yielded' means gave way or produced, and 'abdicated' means renounced a throne. None of these relates to theft. Hence (a) is correct.
