Question

Which THREE of the following words have similar meanings?

A) opaque
B) hazy
C) ambitious
D) clear
E) obscure

Answer 1

The words that have similar meanings are 'opaque', 'hazy', and 'obscure'. Option A, B and E are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three words that have similar meanings to each other are:

1. Opaque: When something is opaque, it is difficult or impossible to see through. For example, a frosted glass window is opaque because the light cannot pass through it.
2. Hazy: Hazy refers to something unclear or indistinct. For instance, a foggy day can be described as hazy because visibility is reduced.
3. Obscure: When something is obscure, it is not well-known or easily understood. An example of an obscure fact might be a little-known historical event.

These three words share a similar meaning of being unclear, difficult to understand, or hard to see through.

Synonyms are words with the same or similar meanings. For example, a synonym of teach is educate; both words mean the same thing even though they're different.

Using the thesaurus, you can look up synonyms (different words with the same meaning) and antonyms (words with the opposite meaning). Tip: In the desktop versions of Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, you can get a quick list of synonyms by right-clicking a word and choosing Synonyms.
