Important examples of corresponding in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, corresponding is used to show a match or relation between items.

▪The corresponding figures are shown in the report.
▪The matching numbers are shown in the report.

Example of a confusing word: contrasting (showing differences)

▪The contrasting figures are shown in the report.
▪The differing numbers are shown in the report.
"Corresponding" is an adjective used to indicate that items are related or match each other, as in "The corresponding figures are shown in the report," which implies that the figures align with something else mentioned. "Contrasting," on the other hand, means "showing differences" and would imply that the figures are different from others, which changes the intended meaning. Therefore, "contrasting" is not suitable here, and "corresponding" is the correct choice.
