When someone "yearns" for something, what is true about their feelings?

  1. They are indifferent

  2. They have a strong desire

  3. They feel regretful

  4. They are fully satisfied

The correct answer is: They have a strong desire

When someone "yearns" for something, it signifies a deep and intense longing or desire for what they do not have. This strong desire often stems from a sense of need or a wish for something that seems just out of reach, whether it be a goal, a relationship, or an aspiration. The term evokes feelings of emotional strength and a compelling urge that goes beyond mere want or simple interest. Recognizing this depth of feeling is important in understanding how yearning can motivate individuals to pursue what they desire in life.
