Checking out exam (7)
I believe the answer is:
leaving
This might be a double definition.
'checking' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'out exam' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leaving that I've seen before include "Departing" , "Abandoning" , "Going away" , "Bequeathing (in will)" , "Departure" .)
