Let’s go through each pair of words and decide if they are synonyms (same meaning) or antonyms (opposite meaning).
1.
small -- tiny → Both mean “not big.” These are synonyms.
2.
quick -- fast → Both mean “moving with speed.” These are synonyms.
3.
left -- right → These are opposite directions. These are antonyms.
4.
tasty -- delicious → Both mean “good to taste.” These are synonyms.
5.
hot -- cold → Opposite temperatures. These are antonyms.
6.
wet -- dry → Opposite states (one has water, the other doesn’t). These are antonyms.
7.
large -- big → Both mean “big in size.” These are synonyms.
8.
over -- under → Opposite positions (above vs below). These are antonyms.
Now we sort them:
✔ Synonyms:
- small -- tiny
- quick -- fast
- tasty -- delicious
- large -- big
✔ Antonyms:
- left -- right
- hot -- cold
- wet -- dry
- over -- under
Final Answer:
