Which verb describes the action of increasing something?

Averiguar
Aumentar
Asustar
Buscar

The correct answer is: Aumentar

The verb "aumentar" is specifically used to describe the action of increasing or growing in quantity, size, or intensity. It conveys a clear connotation of enhancement or escalation. For instance, in various contexts, "aumentar" can be used to refer to increasing prices, raising awareness, or growing a population. In contrast, the other choices encapsulate different meanings: "averiguar" means to find out or ascertain information, "asustar" refers to causing fear or fright, and "buscar" translates to looking for or seeking something. Therefore, "aumentar" stands out as the appropriate verb denoting an increase.
