Question

reduced or shortened
which word matches the definition above?
innovation
abridged
suspense

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Innovation" means creating new things, not related to reduction/shortening.
• "Abridged" means to reduce or shorten (e.g., an abridged book is a shortened version).
• "Suspense" refers to a feeling of excitement/worry, not related to reduction.

So the word matching "reduced or shortened" is "abridged".

Answer:

B. abridged (assuming the options are labeled with A, B, C where A is innovation, B is abridged, C is suspense; if the middle option is the second one, it's the middle option with text "abridged")
