Example Question #671 : Synonyms
A synonym of "hazy" is . . .
obvious
foggy
pale
cooked
hazardous
foggy
"Hazy" is an adjective that means "covered by a haze" or "vague, indistinct, or ill-defined," so we need to pick out an adjective that means something like "covered by haze" or "vague." While "hazardous" may look like a good answer choice because "hazy" and "hazardous" both start with the letters "haz-," "hazardous" means "dangerous." Because hazardous doesn't mean the same thing as "hazy," it can't be the correct answer. "Foggy," however, means "full of or accompanied by fog," "unable to think clearly; confused," or "indistinctly expressed or perceived; obscure." Since "foggy" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "hazy," "foggy" is the correct answer.
Example Question #672 : Synonyms
A synonym of "conspicuous" is . . .
overt
belligerent
dedicated
complex
secret
overt
"Conspicuous" is an adjective that means "standing out so as to be clearly visible" or "attracting notice or attention." So, we need to pick out a word that means something like "obvious." Since 'overt" means "done or shown openly; plainly or readily apparent, not secret or hidden," "overt" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "conspicuous," so "overt" is the correct answer.
Example Question #673 : Synonyms
