Synonyms & Antonyms Questions with Solutions
Synonyms are words with the same or nearly the same meaning, such as "abundant" and "plentiful". Antonyms are words with opposite meanings, such as "scarce" and "abundant". These questions give a word, either on its own or used in a sentence, and ask you to pick its synonym or antonym from the options. A wide vocabulary is the real foundation, so reading regularly and keeping a word list helps more than any trick. During the exam, root words, prefixes and suffixes can help you guess unfamiliar words. "Bene-" suggests something good, "mal-" something bad, and "-cide" means killing. When the word appears in a sentence, use the context to judge its meaning. Watch out for options that are related to the word but are not true synonyms or antonyms. Practise the synonym and antonym questions below. Each solution gives the meaning of the word.
