Explanation:

Correct option 4: abandon

Let's look at the sentence with Blank No. 5 in context:

Twinkle herself caught the virus (4)______ driving patients to hospitals or funeral grounds. But she did not (5)______ her work and started working once she was fit.

We need a word that fits the meaning:
"She got sick but still didn’t stop her work."

Let’s evaluate the options:

1. escape – Incorrect
"Escape" means to get away — not relevant in the context of stopping or leaving work.

2. redeem – Incorrect
"Redeem" means to make up for or compensate — doesn’t make sense here.

3. continue – Incorrect in this context
The sentence says "she started working once she was fit," so she paused work temporarily due to illness. "Continue" would suggest she never stopped, which doesn't fit logically.

4. abandon – Correct
"Abandon" means to give up completely. Saying "she did not abandon her work" fits well — she resumed her work once recovered.
