Which verb means "to highlight"?

  1. Destacar

  2. Destruir

  3. Dificultar

  4. Dar

The correct answer is: Destacar

The verb that means "to highlight" in Spanish is "destacar." This term is commonly used to indicate the action of emphasizing or drawing attention to something, whether it be in a text, a presentation, or any context where certain information needs to stand out. In educational and professional settings, for instance, when someone is asked to highlight important points, they would use "destacar" to refer to that specific action. The other verbs have different meanings, which do not relate to highlighting. "Destruir" means "to destroy," which implies a negation or removal rather than emphasis. "Dificultar" translates to "to complicate" or "to make difficult," which is not relevant to the action of highlighting. Lastly, "dar" means "to give," and does not connote highlighting or emphasizing something. Each of these alternatives conveys a different action that is unrelated to the concept of highlighting.
