No. Wink

Thriving has a sense of growing.
Flagging has the sense of declining.

It's the same sort of difference as between up and down.

well i looked up a dictionary and found out that flagging means decrease in energy
so the opposite has to be vibrant which means full of energy Smile

I think too.

nuance of 'thriving' is very lively and profitable, isn't it?

.
Another aspect to consider is the -'ing' ending. In 'thriving' and 'flagging', it suggests that the level of energy or strength is in the process of changing -- i.e. increasing or decreasing.

In contrast, vibrant and vigorous can only refer to a current state rather than a change of state.

okay.
It also means that the parts of speech have to match up . am i right
becoz flagging ---->verb
vigorous(vibrant)------>adjective
thriving----->verb
