Answer:

“alentar” is “to encourage,” but can also mean to “cheer on” or to “cheer up (someone).” “Animar” is also “to encourage,” but it can additionally mean, “to cheer” (as in cheer for a team), “to root for,” “to liven up” (e.g., “animar una fiesta con música”), “to cheer up (someone or yourself)”

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps
