What does it mean for two words to be considered synonymous?

  1. They have opposite meanings

  2. They are unrelated

  3. They have similar meanings

  4. They are different in meaning

The correct answer is: They have similar meanings

To say that two words are synonymous means that they have similar meanings. Synonyms are words that can be used interchangeably in some contexts without changing the overall meaning of a sentence. For example, the words "happy" and "joyful" are considered synonyms because they convey the same general idea of a positive emotional state. Recognizing synonyms is important because it enhances vocabulary and allows for more nuanced expression in both written and spoken language. Understanding the concept of synonyms helps in expanding language comprehension and usage, which is essential in communication and literacy skills.
