Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
AUTOMOBILE
Organism

Car
Car
The nouns "automobile" and "car" are synonymous. Although "automobile" is not as frequently used as "car," they both refer to the same kind of vehicle. The remaining words have meanings that are not related. "Craft" comes close; however, the word "craft" is typically used to refer to aircraft, boats, or spacecraft.
Example Question #44 : Synonyms: Nouns For Tangible Things
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
MEDAL
Stone
Belt
Badge
Strap
Mineral
Badge
First, we must distinguish between the nouns "medal" (an honor awarded for excellence and typically worn on a jacket or coat) and "metal" (a material used in the fabrication or construction of things). "Badge" is synonymous with "medal." "Belt" and "strap" are very closely related, as are "mineral" and "stone." These pairs should have been eliminated using that reasoning.
Example Question #45 : Synonyms: Nouns For Tangible Things
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
BEVERAGE
Blanket
Tea
Common
Cup
Drink
Drink
The word that means most nearly the same thing as BEVERAGE is "drink." In this case, the word "drink" is being used as a noun meaning a liquid that can be swallowed.
"Tea" is not the best answer because it is an example of a beverage. "Drink" is a broader word that is closer in meaning to beverage.
"Cup" is not the best answer because it is an object used to hold a beverage.
"Common" is an adjective that means average. "Average" sounds a little like "beverage," but it is not the same part of speech and has a very different meaning.
A "blanket" is a covering to keep you warm.

Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
BATHROOM
Building
Walking
Hands
Sink
Restroom
Restroom
"Restroom" is another word that can be used for the word "bathroom." Both words are nouns. A "sink" is an item in the bathroom not another word for bathroom. "Building" is not specific enough to be a synonym for the word bathroom. Bathrooms are inside buildings.

Man
Tall
Kid
Monkey
Infant
Kid
"Kid" is a synonym for the word "child." "Infant" means baby and is not a synonym for the word "child," as it is specific to that one stage of childhood.

CAR
Auto
Land
Drive
Seats
Road
Auto
"Automobile" is a synonym for the word "car." The words "drive," "road," and "seat" are all related to the word car but do not mean the same thing. Drivers who are sitting in seats drive cars on roads. Cars are thus a land-based form of transportation.
