Introduction
Welcome to 501 Synonym and Antonym
Questions!This book is designed to help you prepare
for the verbal sections of many assessment and entrance
exams. By completing the exercises in this book you will also increase
your vocabulary and refine your knowledge of words.
Most standardized tests—including high school entrance exams,
the SAT, civil service exams, and the GRE—use synonym and
antonym questions to test verbal skills. These questions ask test tak-
ers to identify the word that is most similar or dissimilar to another
word, effectively testing their knowledge of two words.
The questions in this book, for the most part, are grouped into sec-
tions of questions that ask you to select a word’s synonym and
sections that ask you to select a word’s antonym. There are two sec-
tions that include questions asking for either the synonym or the
antonym.
The questions increase in difficulty as you move through the exer-
cises of each chapter. Because this book is designed for many levels
