Hi, there!

Today I'd like to ask you about a correcting-a-mistake type quiz.

Look at the following sentence.

'Unfortunately, efforts to bring out the students' motivation were actually aided its loss.

The underlined word looks incorrect, but I don't know how to correct it.

Would you please tell me how I should correct it?

I'm waiting for your answer.

Thanks.

I think "aiding" would work.
