Explanation:
- A
synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word.
- An
antonym is a word that has the opposite meaning of another word.
- By identifying the synonym for each word in the SYNONYMS column, we can then easily find its antonym in the ANTONYMS column.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{c|c|c}
\text{SYNONYMS} & \text{Synonym} & \text{Antonym} \\
\hline
\text{wide} & \text{broad} & \text{narrow} \\
\text{happy} & \text{joyful} & \text{sad} \\
\text{small} & \text{tiny} & \text{huge} \\
