This law has been in __________ for sometime.

  1. running

  2. abeyance

  3. power

  4. position
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence implies that the law has been temporarily put to rest. Abeyance means temporary suspension, as of an activity or function. A law itself can never be in power, rather it's an instrument to empower. Thus, option 3 eliminated.
