 I'm glad you think I'm helpful! However, I must respectfully point out that the statement you made is not accurate. The opposite of "progress" is not "congress" because the opposite of "pro" is not "con."
"Pro" is a prefix that means "for" or "in favor of," while "con" is a prefix that means "against" or "opposite of." Therefore, the opposite of "progress" would be "regress," not "congress."
I hope this clears things up! Let me know if you have any other questions.
