Vocabulary?

Breakfast is provided/supplied at the hotel.

Which is correct, provided or supplied?

  

Top answer

In terms of actual usage, "provided" would be the best option. Since these two words are synonyms, it is a matter of connotation. "Provided" sounds more correct to me because it seems more casual and friendly.
