Looking at the worksheet, I need to circle synonyms in each set. Synonyms are words that mean the same or nearly the same thing.
Let me go through each set one by one:
Set 1: break, shoot, draw, smash, pull
- "break" and "smash" both mean to damage or destroy something
- These are synonyms
Set 2: jump, hurry, skip, swim, rush
- "hurry" and "rush" both mean to move quickly
- These are synonyms
Set 3: drop, spread, gather, collect, draw
- "gather" and "collect" both mean to bring things together
- These are synonyms
Set 4: picture, crayon, story, elf, tale
- "story" and "tale" both mean a narrative or account of events
- These are synonyms
Set 5: end, repeat, finish, start, play
- "end" and "finish" both mean to complete something
- These are synonyms
Set 6: candle, fragrance, prayer, joy, perfume
- "fragrance" and "perfume" both refer to pleasant smells
- These are synonyms
Set 7: huge, small, full, little, clear
- "huge" and "large" would be synonyms, but "large" isn't here
- "small" and "little" both mean not big
- These are synonyms
Set 8: reply, call, answer, write, try
- "reply" and "answer" both mean to respond to something
- These are synonyms
Final Answer:
1) break, smash
2) hurry, rush
3) gather, collect
4) story, tale
5) end, finish
6) fragrance, perfume
7) small, little
8) reply, answer
