Which verb means "to attract"?

  1. Aumentar

  2. Atraer

  3. Caer

  4. Coger

The correct answer is: Atraer

The verb that means "to attract" is "atraer." This verb comes from the Latin "attrahere" and is used in Spanish to describe the action of pulling towards oneself or drawing interest from others. It is commonly used in various contexts, such as attracting attention, people, objects, or even magnetic forces. For example, one might say, "El nuevo filme atraerá a muchos espectadores," meaning "The new film will attract many viewers." This demonstrates the verb's versatility in both literal and figurative contexts. The other verbs in the list have entirely different meanings: "aumentar" means "to increase," "caer" means "to fall," and "coger" can mean "to grab" or "to take." None of these verbs convey the idea of attraction, making "atraer" the only appropriate choice for the definition given.
