Let me work through each pair of words to determine if they are synonyms (words with similar meanings) or antonyms (words with opposite meanings).
Step-by-step analysis:
1.
hot - cold: These are opposites (temperature extremes) → Antonym
2.
many - several: Both mean "a large number" → Synonym
3.
dull - shiny: Dull means not bright/shiny, so these are opposites → Antonym
4.
big - huge: Both mean large in size → Synonym
5.
coat - jacket: Both are types of outer clothing worn for warmth → Synonym
6.
below - above: These are positional opposites → Antonym
7.
build - destroy: Building creates something, destroying breaks it down → Antonym
8.
stove - oven: Both are kitchen appliances used for cooking → Synonym
9.
glad - pleased: Both express happiness or satisfaction → Synonym
10.
pack - unpack: Packing puts things together, unpacking takes them apart → Antonym
11.
heavy - light: These are weight opposites → Antonym
12.
laugh - giggle: Both are expressions of amusement/humor → Synonym
13.
dull - shiny: Same as #3, these are opposites → Antonym
