Correct Answer: allowed


Solution : The most appropriate choice is the fourth option.

Forbade means to prohibit or disallow whereas its antonym allowed means to permit or give permission.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Prevented means to keep something from happening.
  • Refused means to show one is not allowed to do something.
  • Declined means to become smaller.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Her parents allowed her to marry her lover."
