    Solution

    The word ‘fanning’ means ‘to encourage bad emotions or behaviour to get worse.’ It is correct here. Adjoining- neighbouring. Swarming- to move in a large group. Venerate- to honour or very much respect a person or thing. He was fanning the hatred between the two friends by escalating simple mistakes made by them.
