The word 'gratifying' means

  • A.annoying
  • B.satisfying
  • C.giving
  • D.fortifying

Answer: B

'Gratifying' means satisfying.

Something gratifying gives pleasure or satisfaction, usually because it meets a wish or rewards an effort: 'It was gratifying to see the students succeed.' The word comes from the Latin gratus, pleasing.

'Annoying' is its opposite. 'Giving' only echoes the idea of a gift, which is a different word. 'Fortifying' means strengthening, as in fortifying a wall or a food with vitamins, which has nothing to do with pleasure.
