If the words brave and courageous were used in the same context they would be examples of what?

Synonyms

Brave and Courageous have nearly the same meaning, especially if you were using them within the same context. Therefore they would be synonyms.

The correct answer is synonyms.


Synonyms are words that have the same (or really similar) meanings. The words brave and courageous mean the same thing, and therefore, they are synonyms. Other examples would include: happiness - joy - mirth, etc. Words that have opposite meanings (such as love and hatred) are known as antonyms.
