grant

Hi,

1. What's the difference between grant and approve?

2. Animosity: active enmity. What does 'active' mean here? If it is taken out, does it matter?

1/ grant/admit Although there are various slants on these two words, and they can mean slightly different things, depending on the context (see your dictionary), they can also both mean: To permit something: eg: We can grant you permission to do something. or also: We can allow you to do something. Or you can say: I grant that you are right.
