Answer 1

Answer:

A dictionary

Explaination:

A dictionary states all possible definitions to a word, whilst the others do not.

An Almanac is a type of Calendar.

A style manual is a sort of guide.

A thesaurus provides adjectives (words that mean the same thing as one word) for every word in the English dictionary.
