Clue: Incentive (opposite of stick) Telegraph Quick
Possible Answer: CARROT
"Incentive (opposite of stick)" leads to the answer "CARROT," referring to the metaphorical phrase "carrot and stick," where the carrot represents a reward or incentive, and the stick symbolizes a punishment or threat. The phrase originates from the idea of dangling a carrot in front of a donkey to encourage it to move forward, with the carrot acting as a positive motivator.
In this context, the word "carrot" is used to signify a motivating reward, the opposite of a punitive measure like the "stick." The answer is fitting as it directly aligns with the clue’s description of a non-punitive incentive.
