こんばんは。

正解は、'leave' ではないでしょうか。

'to take one's leave of ～' は、「～を後にする」です。
他に、名詞の'leave'には、「許可」という意味もあります。'with'（「許可を得て」）や'without'（「許可なしで」）というセットでよく聞こえます。

発音もスペルも一緒だが、やはり意味はまったく違いますね。なかなかdifficultな一門ですね。

お礼

I thank you very much for your wonderful answer. I simply did not know the expression "to take one's leave of ～." And also, I although knew the usage of "leave" appropriate for the (b), I could not come up with it. I really appreciate it that you replied to my question. I will be grateful, if you would do the same again some other time in the near future when I run into problems as such.
By the way, I lived in the states for eleven years, and I am more comfortable communicating in Eglish myself.

I imagine the PC is a fine device, because you don't have to go through a toil of mastering the difficulties of Japanese hand-writings, huh! I once had a opportunities to teach that to a highschool exchage student, and man, it was tough.

If you were to hand-write what you taught me, it must have been a disaster. Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to offend you. I just simply wish I could be around to talk about all kinds of things in English with you.
