Which activity contributes to vocabulary growth?

  1. Reading

  2. Typing

  3. Gazing

  4. Watching TV

The correct answer is: Reading

Reading is an activity that contributes to vocabulary growth because it exposes an individual to new words and their usage in various contexts. Reading also enhances reading comprehension, which enables one to understand the meaning of unfamiliar words. On the other hand, typing, gazing, and watching TV do not actively engage the individual in building their vocabulary and may not introduce new words or enhance comprehension as effectively as reading does. Therefore, they are not considered as effective activities for vocabulary growth.
