Choose the word that means the same as the given word. Encounter

Answer: Meeting

'Encounter' means to meet or come across someone or something, often unexpectedly.

Why 'Meeting' is correct:

• 'Meeting' is a direct synonym of 'encounter' when both mean coming together or meeting someone.

Why the other choices are incorrect:

• 'Avoiding' means deliberately keeping away from or not facing something, which is the opposite of encountering.

• 'Sale' refers to selling or a discount and is unrelated to meeting or coming across someone.

• 'Announcing' means making something known publicly; it does not mean to meet someone.

Example: I encountered an old friend on the street. = I met an old friend on the street.
