1. Which of the following is a strong reporting verb?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which word is a strong reporting verb, i.e., a verb commonly used to report what someone said or suggested.
Option A: 'accentuate' means to emphasize or highlight something. It is not used as a reporting verb to convey speech or statements from someone else, so it fails as a reporting verb.
Option B: 'advise' is a classic reporting verb. It is used when relaying someone’s recommendation or guidance, e.g., 'She advised that we proceed cautiously.' This fits the role of a strong reporting verb because it clearly conveys the speaker's intention or message.
Option C: 'analyze' refers to examining something in detail. While it is a valid verb, it does not function as a reporting verb in the context of reporting speech or statements; it describes an action rather than reporting what someone said.
Option D: 'anticipate' means to expect or foresee something. Like 'analyze,' it does not serve as a reporting verb for conveying someone else’s words or opinions, so it is not appropriate here.
In summary, only 'advise' (Option B) acts as a suitable reporting verb among the choices, whereas the others describe actions or meanings that do not fulfill the reporting-verb role.
