What are words that have the same or nearly the same meaning?

• A. Antonym
• B. Synonym
• C. Metaphor
• D. Homonym

Answer: (B)

Synonyms are words that have the same or nearly the same meaning. They give you options to express similar ideas with a slightly different tone or level of formality. For example, "happy" and "joyful" share a similar meaning, and "quick" and "fast" both describe speed. When a question asks for words that mean the same thing, you’re looking for synonyms.

Antonyms are words with opposite meanings, like "hot" and "cold." A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes one thing as if it were another, such as "time is money." A homonym is a word that sounds the same or is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning, like "knight" and "night" or "bank" (money) and "bank" (side of a river).
