They are synonyms, but anticipate can also mean to feel excitement for the arrival of something or for something to happen.

I am confused with booming, flourishing, thriving and prospering. Could you please help me out?
English (US)
To boom means to increase by a lot or to make a loud noise/be loud.
Sales are booming!
The booming of the rockets woke the children.
Flourishing means to do really well.
My flowers are flourishing in my garden.
Thriving also means to do really well.
I am thriving at my new job.
Prospering means the same. It can apply to succeeding in a material sense (having lots of money or things in a positive way) or to being strong and healthy.
