Question: 1 / 400

Which term is synonymous with 'encouraging'?

Discouraging

Promotional

Uplifting

The term 'encouraging' refers to providing support, confidence, or hope to someone. It embodies positivity and a motivating spirit. 'Uplifting' is synonymous with 'encouraging' as it conveys a sense of raising someone's spirits or promoting a more positive outlook. Both terms suggest an act of support and positivity.

In contrast, other choices do not share this positive connotation. 'Discouraging' clearly implies the opposite, as it denotes a reduction of confidence or hope. 'Promotional' can imply support but is often more business-oriented and does not directly convey encouragement in a personal or emotional sense. 'Detrimental' refers to causing harm or loss, which is an entirely negative concept. Thus, 'uplifting' stands out as the term that most clearly aligns with the meaning of 'encouraging.'
