A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'expiate' because it means to make amends or atone for wrongdoing - what a government should do for societal failures. 'Deft' is an adjective meaning skillful, 'enamour' means to charm or captivate, and 'abet' means to assist in wrongdoing - none of which fit the context of addressing social problems.
