Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The word "abandon" best fits the blank because the sentence mentions the population loss and economic struggles of Detroit, leading the city to decide to abandon large areas in order to improve its economic future. Renovating, incorporating or industrializing are not suitable choices as they do not align with the concept of abandoning areas.
