Question

complete the sentence with the word that best fits the overall meaning and tone.
rosa is comfortable _________ strangers, and this trait has helped her become a well - regarded and successful real estate agent.
approaching
accosting

Explanation:

"Approaching" means to come near or closer to (someone or something) in distance or time. It has a neutral - positive connotation. "Accosting" means to approach and address (someone) boldly or aggressively. Since Rosa is described as becoming a well - regarded and successful real estate agent, a positive trait is implied. Approaching strangers in a normal, friendly way is a positive trait for a real - estate agent. Accosting has a negative or at least overly - forward connotation which would not lead to being well - regarded.

Answer:

approaching
