Let’s go step by step to find synonyms and antonyms for the words given.

---

Synonyms are words that mean the same or almost the same as another word.
Antonyms are words that mean the opposite of another word.

We’ll start with the synonyms:

1. Courageous – This means brave, not afraid. A good synonym is brave.
2. Hurt – This can mean injured or feeling pain. A common synonym is injured (if physical) or pained (if emotional). We’ll use injured since it’s more general for school level.
3. Normal – This means usual, regular, or typical. A simple synonym is usual.
4. Anger – This is a strong feeling of being upset or mad. A synonym is rage or fury, but for simplicity, we’ll use madness — wait, actually “madness” isn’t quite right. Better: wrath is too hard. Let’s pick fury? Still maybe too advanced. Actually, in everyday language, people say “anger” = “being mad”. But we need a noun synonym. How about ire? Too fancy. Best simple one: rage is okay, but let’s go with fury only if needed. Wait — better yet: annoyance? No, that’s weaker. Actually, standard synonym taught in schools: wrath or fury — but perhaps madness is misleading. Let me think again… Actually, “anger” → synonym is often rage. I’ll go with rage.
- Correction: For elementary/middle school, “anger” synonym is often fury or wrath, but simplest is madness? No — “madness” means insanity. Oops! Big mistake. Let’s fix: Synonym for anger = fury (strong), or ire (too old-fashioned). Actually, best simple synonym: rage. Yes, “rage” is acceptable. Or even temper? Not exactly. Let’s check: Common synonyms for “anger”: rage, fury, wrath, irritation. For student level, rage is fine.
5. Enough – This means sufficient, adequate. Simple synonym: sufficient.

Wait — let’s double-check each:

- Courageous → Brave ✔
- Hurt → Injured ✔ (or pained, but injured is clearer)
- Normal → Usual ✔
- Anger → Rage ✔ (commonly accepted)
- Enough → Sufficient ✔

Now for antonyms:

1. Marriage – This is when two people become husband and wife. The opposite would be divorce (ending marriage) or single (not married). Since “marriage” is a state, its direct opposite is divorce (the act of ending it) or singleness. But commonly, antonym used is divorce. However, sometimes “marriage” vs “celibacy”? No. Best answer: divorce.
- Wait — actually, “marriage” is a union; opposite could be “separation” or “divorce”. But in many worksheets, they accept divorce as antonym. Alternatively, single (as in marital status). Let’s see context: next word is “Separate”, so maybe they want “together” for separate? Hmm. Let’s hold on.

Actually, let’s look at the second antonym:

2. Separate – This means to divide or keep apart. Opposite is unite or join or combine. Simplest: unite.

But back to “Marriage” — if “separate” is coming up, maybe “marriage” antonym is “divorce”, and “separate” antonym is “unite”.

Yes, that makes sense.

So:

Antonyms:
1. Marriage → Divorce
2. Separate → Unite

Wait — is “divorce” really the antonym of “marriage”? Technically, marriage is the state, divorce is the legal end. Sometimes “single” is considered the opposite state. But in most school contexts, especially paired with “separate”, “divorce” is acceptable.

Alternatively, some might say “celibacy” — no, too complex.

I think for this level, divorce is fine.

But let’s confirm with common usage:

- Marriage ↔ Divorce (yes, commonly paired)
- Separate ↔ Together? Or Unite? “Unite” is stronger. “Together” is an adverb/adjective. “Unite” is verb like “separate”. So better: unite
