Explanation:

- Reprieve: This term generally means a cancellation or delay of a punishment, especially when it comes to the death penalty or other serious sentences.

- Option 1 - Turn out: This refers to an outcome or result, or to go out or assemble. It isn't directly related to reprieve.

- Option 2 - Torrential: Usually describes something occurring in large amounts, like rain. It does not relate to reprieve.

- Option 3 - Cease: This means to bring to an end or stop. It is not an antonym of reprieve because both imply an end to something.

- Option 4 - Continuation: Means to carry on or prolong something. This is the opposite of ending or delaying, making it the most suitable antonym for reprieve.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

- Option 4 - Continuation
