Answer Details
The underlined word in the sentence is "start", and we are looking for a word that is opposite in meaning to it and can correctly fill the gap.

The word "flourishing" also means to grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way, so it is the best match in meaning. The words "evolving" and "supportive" do not match the meaning of "thriving" in this context. "Evolving" implies a process of development, while "supportive" implies assistance or encouragement. The word "attractive" does not match the meaning of "thriving" in this context either. It implies something that is pleasing to the eye or desirable, rather than something that is growing or prospering. Therefore, the best word to use to replace "thriving" in the sentence is "flourishing".

"Through" implies an agency or means of achieving something, which is not applicable in the context of the sentence.
