Correct Answer: agreeing


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

The word "supporting" implies endorsing or providing assistance to a cause, idea, or action. It suggests standing behind or reinforcing something. On the other hand, "applauding" involves expressing approval or admiration through clapping or enthusiastic acknowledgment.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Agreeing means expressing conformity or harmony of opinion with someone or something.

  • Disagreeing means expressing a difference of opinion or not aligning with someone else's viewpoint.

  • Arguing means presenting reasons, evidence, or points in favour of or against a statement or position.

Therefore, the correct answer is applauding.
