Question

In a thesaurus you see that glide soar and flutter are all synonyms of fly. Which statement is most likely to be true?

Answer 1

Each of the words has its own unique nuance. You can't use soar to replace glide in a sentence like, A bird is soaring through the sky, and A bird is gliding through the sky. They give different feelings.

Answer 2

Since all of them are synonyms, everyone of those words could be used and also be correct.
