If someone is described as "indulging," what are they likely doing?

Resisting temptation
Pursuing discomfort
Giving in to desires
Ignoring pleasure

The correct answer is: Giving in to desires

When someone is described as "indulging," they are likely giving in to their desires. Indulgence typically refers to the act of allowing oneself to enjoy pleasures, whether that involves food, activities, or other forms of gratification. It is associated with a sense of freedom in enjoying experiences without restraint. In this context, the term reflects a willingness to embrace pleasure and fulfill personal desires, which is why the choice of giving in to desires is the correct interpretation of the term. The other concepts such as resisting temptation, pursuing discomfort, or ignoring pleasure denote actions contrary to indulgence, which focuses on satisfaction and enjoyment rather than restraint or avoidance.
