    Solution

    The word 'adjure' means 'to ask or order someone to do something'. It is correct here. Adjourn-to have a pause or rest during a formal meeting or trial. Absolve-to free someone from guilt, blame, or responsibility for something. Abjure-to say formally or publicly that you no longer agree with a belief or way of behaving.
