Which of the following terms is synonymous with 'complete or perfect' when referring to something that complements?

  1. Enhance

  2. Finish

  3. Supplement

  4. Enrich

The correct answer is: Supplement

The term synonymous with 'complete or perfect' when referring to something that complements is 'supplement.' This word suggests that an addition is made to something in order to improve it, making it more complete or fulfilling. In many contexts, when something is supplemented, it is enhanced by the addition of another component that makes it whole or better. While 'enhance' and 'enrich' imply improvement or elevation of quality, they do not necessarily convey the same sense of making something complete. 'Finish,' on the other hand, might imply bringing something to an end or concluding it, rather than the idea of complementing or completing something. 'Supplement' captures the essence of making something more complete in a way that these other terms do not fully address.
