Step-by-step solution for: Synonyms for grade 3 | Worsheets library
Explanation:
Let’s go through each word and pick the synonym (a word with a similar meaning) from the options given.
1) begin → options: *stop, start, finish*
- “Begin” means to start something. So the correct synonym is start.
2) near → options: *her, for, close*
- “Near” means not far away — same as close.
3) small → options: *tiny, large, mouse*
- “Small” means little in size. *Tiny* also means very small. *Large* is the opposite. *Mouse* is a noun (an animal), not a size word. So correct: tiny.
4) loud → options: *quiet, noisy, big*
- “Loud” means making a lot of sound. *Noisy* means full of noise — same idea. *Quiet* is the opposite. So correct: noisy.
5) talk → options: *whisper, speak, shout*
- “Talk” means to use words to communicate. *Speak* is a general synonym. *Whisper* and *shout* are specific types of talking (very quiet or very loud), but not general synonyms. So best choice: speak.
6) mad → options: *angry, silly, smack*
- In everyday English, “mad” often means angry (especially in American English). *Silly* means foolish, not the same. *Smack* is a verb/noun for hitting — unrelated. So correct: angry.
7) damp → options: *wet, grass, wash*
- “Damp” means slightly wet. *Wet* is the closest — though stronger, it’s still about moisture. *Grass* and *wash* don’t mean damp. So correct: wet.
8) fix → options: *six, make, repair*
- “Fix” means to repair or mend something. *Repair* is a direct synonym. *Six* is a number. *Make* is too general. So correct: repair.
9) howl → options: *cry, wolf, loud*
- “Howl” is a long, loud cry — especially like a wolf or someone in pain. Among the choices, *cry* is the best general synonym (though *wolf* is related, it’s a noun, not a verb meaning). *Loud* is an adjective, not a verb. So correct: cry (as in “let out a cry” — howling is a type of cry).
10) end → options: *start, finish, begin*
- “End” means to stop or complete. *Finish* is a perfect synonym. *Start* and *begin* are opposites. So correct: finish.
11) walk → options: *stroll, run, jog*
- “Walk” is moving on foot at a regular pace. *Stroll* means to walk slowly and relaxed — still walking. *Run* and *jog* are faster. So best synonym: stroll (closest in meaning; all three are movement verbs, but stroll is most similar in pace and effort to walk).
12) jump → options: *sit, leap, frog*
- “Jump” means to push off the ground and go up or forward. *Leap* is a synonym — it means the same thing (often used interchangeably). *Sit* is opposite. *Frog* is an animal that jumps, but not a verb meaning jump. So correct: leap.
