Which of the following terms is a synonym for "terrific" when used positively?

Amazing
Unpleasant
Unsatisfactory
Disappointing

The correct answer is: Amazing

The term "terrific" is often used to describe something that is exceptionally good or impressive, especially in positive contexts. "Amazing" is a direct synonym that conveys a similar sense of admiration and enthusiasm. It suggests something that inspires awe or is remarkably good, reinforcing the positive connotation associated with "terrific." Understanding synonyms is important in language as it helps to enrich vocabulary and allows for more precise communication. In this case, using "amazing" in place of "terrific" maintains the positive sentiment intended in a discussion. The other options all carry negative connotations and do not align with the positive usage of "terrific."
