The correct definition of "resignation" in this context is "retirement." Resignation refers to the act of giving up a position or office, particularly in the context of a formal announcement of leaving a job or role, often due to external circumstances or pressures.
Read this sentence from "President Richard Nixon: Re-election, Second Term, and Watergate."
"The Watergate scandal began with the June 1972 discovery of a break-in at the Democratic National Committee offices in the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C., but media and official investigations soon revealed a broader pattern of abuse of power by the Nixon administration, leading to his resignation."
Knowing that the words resignation and acceptance are antonyms, what is the definition of resignation?
