Correct Answer: accept

Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

Discard means to let go of, or dismiss something.

Accept means to approve or agree on something. Both of these words imply opposite actions in decision-making, as "discard" implies rejecting something, whereas "accept" implies agreeing on something, hence making them antonyms.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Ditch means to get rid of.
• Scrap means not continuing with a plan.
• Eliminate means to completely remove something.
