A benefit or favorable factor that helps a person, idea, or plan succeed.
“Supporters highlight the advantage of lower energy bills under the new program.”
“The main advantage of remote work is the flexibility it gives employees.”
This word commonly appears opposite 'drawback' or 'disadvantage' in Part 4 passages that weigh both sides of an issue. Keep a mental tally of advantages versus drawbacks as you read, since comparison questions rely on this balance.
Synonyms: benefit, upside, merit
