SYNONYMS
Table of Contents
ToggleWhat are Synonyms?
Synonyms are words that have the same or nearly the same meaning as another word.
In simple terms, when two or more words express a similar idea, they are called synonyms.
Examples:
- Happy → Glad, Joyful, Cheerful
- Big → Large, Huge, Enormous
- Begin → Start, Commence
- Intelligent → Clever, Smart, Bright
- Beautiful → Pretty, Attractive, Lovely
However, synonyms do not always have exactly the same meaning. Their correct use may depend on the context of the sentence.
Understanding Synonyms through Context
Consider the words Abstain and Refrain. Both generally mean to stop oneself from doing something, but their usage may differ.
- We should abstain from voting.
- We should refrain from drinking.
Thus, while words may have similar meanings, we should also understand how they are used in a sentence.
Why are Synonyms Important?
Knowledge of synonyms helps us to:
- Improve vocabulary
- Avoid unnecessary repetition of words
- Make our language more effective and expressive
- Understand the meaning of unfamiliar words
- Perform better in vocabulary-based questions in competitive examinations
Choosing the Correct Synonym
In synonym questions, a word is given along with several options. We have to select the option whose meaning is closest to the given word.
The best method is to first understand the meaning of the given word and then compare it with each option.
Example 1
Choose the word nearest in meaning to IMPLICATE:
A. Include
B. Entreat
C. Suggest
D. Imply
Correct Answer: A. Include
Explanation:
Implicate can mean to involve or include someone in a particular situation, especially in connection with wrongdoing.
Example: The evidence implicated him in the crime. Here, implicated means that he was involved in the crime.
Example 2
Choose the word that best expresses the meaning of DILIGENT:
A. Intelligent
B. Difficult
C. Laborious
D. Quick
Correct Answer: C. Laborious
Explanation:
Diligent refers to someone who works with care, effort and persistence. Among the given alternatives, laborious is the closest in meaning.
Important Point to Remember
A synonym should not be selected merely because two words appear similar. Always consider the meaning as well as the context.
For example: Look – See – Watch – Observe
All these words are connected with the use of our eyes, but they are not interchangeable in every sentence.
Therefore, while solving synonym questions: Understand the word → Think of its meaning → Examine the options → Choose the closest meaning.
