What is the meaning of Nakakatulong?

• A. Providing assistance or help.
• B. To find or locate something.
• C. To dive or plunge into water.
• D. To wait or anticipate something.

Answer: (A)

Nakakatulong expresses that something provides assistance or is helpful. The word comes from the root tulong, meaning help, with affixes that show a state or effect—so it describes actions or things that give support or usefulness. You’d use it when talking about ways or people that make a situation easier, like a quick piece of advice, a helpful tutor, or any aid that makes things better. For example, “Nakakatulong ang iyong payo” means your advice is helping.

The other options describe different actions entirely—finding or locating something, diving into water, or waiting for something—not giving assistance. So they don’t fit the sense of providing help.
