How to Answer Synonym Questions

When answering “synonym questions,” read each question carefully. If you know that some of the answer choices are wrong, eliminate them. From your answer choices that seem possible, select the one that most nearly means the same as the given word, even if it is a word that you don’t normally use. The correct answer may not be a perfect synonym, but of those choices offered, it is the closest in meaning to the given word.
Make up a sentence sing the given word. Then test your answer by putting it in the place of the given word in your sentence. The meaning of the sentence should be unchanged.
First answer the questions you know. You can come back to the others later.
