Answer:

The correct answer is "Thesaurus"

Step-by-step explanation:

A Thesaurus is a work that groups words according to their similarity in meaning. So in the example provided, if you want to replace the word "worried" by another one similar in meaning you should use a thesaurus.

A dictionary on the other hand provides a definition for a given word but does include similar words in meaning.
