Which option best captures the meaning of highlight?

• A. To stress something
• B. To make something appear more important
• C. To emphasize
• D. To mark important text in yellow

Answer: (C)

Highlight means drawing attention to something, making it stand out in a discussion or text. The best fit here is to emphasize, because emphasizing is exactly about making a point more noticeable or important for the reader or listener. The idea is about prominence in meaning, not a specific physical action.

The other options are related but describe narrower or different nuances: to stress something is close in meaning but can carry a sense of pressure or insistence; to make something appear more important suggests exaggeration or bias rather than simply drawing attention; to mark important text in yellow refers to a specific method, not the general sense of highlighting.
