Hi
Some authentic might be lost in translation.
inaugurate verb ~ somebody (as something): to introduce a new public official or leader at a special ceremony
I think if you have an English-English dictionary(the definitions for a word are in English but not using your native language to elaborate them), you'll figure it out, since a new public official or leader is to be inaugurated as ... at a ceremony. Hence (2) is correct.
