Question

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

Explanation:

"Accosting" means to approach and address someone aggressively or in a challenging way. "Approaching" means to come near or nearer to someone or something in distance or time. Since Carly is a successful real - estate agent, a positive and non - aggressive interaction with strangers is implied. "Approaching" fits the context as it suggests a normal, perhaps friendly way of getting in contact with strangers, which is beneficial for a real - estate agent. "Accosting" has a negative connotation that does not match the positive description of her being well - regarded and successful.

Answer:

approaching
