Ascent’ means upward moment and is incorrect as per the meaning of the sentence. ‘Accent’ means to emphasize a particular feature; ‘Approof’ means trial, and ‘Assent’ means to give an expression of approval or agreement. Thus, ‘Ascent’ needs to be replaced with ‘Assent’ Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘My father has given his assent for my long tour’.
