Question

read the sentence from the passage.
joan had a knack for understanding what animals needed to thrive at the zoo.
which word means the same as thrive as it is used in the sentence?
(a) reveal
(b) appear
(c) prosper
(d) help

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of "thrive" in the context (animals at the zoo needing to do well). "Reveal" means to show, "appear" means to be seen, "prosper" means to flourish/grow well, and "help" means to assist. "Prosper" is the closest in meaning to "thrive" (both mean to do well/succeed).

Answer:

c. prosper
