I have had people answer affluence......I just don't think that is right.....I was thinking it might be outcome .....what do you think/

Answer 1

There are probably several words that you could use there, but 'outcome' would do fine. Also 'result'.

Answer 2

Affluence

Answer 3

wouldn't it be like...change? or something else b/c if you affect something you are producing an effect. If you influence something you are producing a..change? Affect is a verb effect is a noun; influence is a verb, so you need a noun to go with it. it's obviously not affluence cause that's totally irrevlevant, but i don't think it's influential either b/c that's an adj and i'm pretty sure the blank should be filled with a noun.

Answer 4

Its affluence. You're going for words that sound similar but have different meanings.
