Correct Answer: experiencing


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

Encountered refers to a more specific interaction or meeting with something, often implying an unexpected or direct confrontation. On the other hand, experiencing is a broader term, encompassing a range of situations where one undergoes or lives through various events, not necessarily implying a direct confrontation.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Outside means the outer side or exterior, not inside.
  • Starting means beginning or commencing.
  • Avoided means to keep away from or stay clear of; evaded.

Therefore, the correct answer is experiencing.
