Synonyms And Antonyms

What are Synonyms?
When two pair of words mean exactly same in their meaning or nearly same or similar are
termed as Synonyms. Thereby a single word can carry many synonyms. For example; Simple,
Smooth, Easy are Synonyms of each other.
The formations of synonyms changes as per the changing form, let it be either verb, adjective,
adverb, preposition etc. On can understand better with the help of examples.
Verb: Walk and Stroll
Adjective: Beautiful and Charming
Adverb: Easily and Comfortably
Preposition: On and Upon
Given below are a few handful tips which shall be helpful to you to solve synonyms.
Tips & Tricks to solve Synonyms correctly in exam:
1. If one does not know the exact meaning of the word, try understanding it in the context of the
paragraph.
2. In case the meaning of the word is not clear, going through all the available options can
certainly be considered as a good idea. By doing so, one can start getting idea about the given
question & start negating the available options one after the other.
3. Sometimes it so happens that a particular word sounds more like a tongue twister, so try &
break it into meaningful parts. Chances are there that the full word might start making more
sense in this way.
4. One of the effective ways of knowing & scoring well in this section is to keep a regular tab &
enough involvement of reading synonyms & making one‘s own list. Revising the list regularly
helps one in remembering the synonyms more often.

5. While replacing a particular word in sentence, using its synonym, please see to it that the
context does not change nor the whole meaning of the sentence.
Example: What is the synonym of Philanthropy?
a) injury
b) misappropriate
c) charity
d) endaemonism
e) cling
The correct answer is option c) charity.
Moving on to Antonyms. Let us understand what do we mean by saying Antonyms.
What are Antonyms?
Antonyms are the words, which mean opposite to the given word. Example: Antonym of
Benevolent is Malevolent or Unkind.
Given below are a few types of antonyms for better understanding of the students.
Types of Antonyms:
1. Gradable Antonyms: Both the words lie in a continuous spectrum. eg: hard and soft.
2. Complementary Antonyms: Over here, both the words do not lie in a continuous spectrum.
eg: push and pull
3. Relational Antonyms: Few kinds of antonyms are the ones, who make sense only when they
are read together. eg: teacher and pupil
In context of the examination, antonyms are being asked directly & at times based on the
paragraph.
Tips & Tricks to solve antonyms shall remain same as that of synonyms.
Let us take a look at the following passage for better understanding:
The railroad was not the first institution to impose regularity on society, or to draw attention to
the importance of precise timekeeping. For as long as merchants have set out their wares at day
break & communal festivities have been celebrated, people have been in rough agreement with
their neighbours as to the time of day. The value of this tradition is today more apparent than
ever. Were it not for public acceptance of a single yardstick of time, social life would be
unbearably chaotic: the massive daily transfers of goods, services, information, would proceed
in fits & starts the very fabric of modern society would begin to unravel.

Thus a regular study & revisions of both synonyms & antonyms can give an answer to your long
lasting question on how to crack synonyms & antonyms questions in exams. Keep in mind the
above tips & techniques for better performance.

Some Other Techniques for Solving Synonyms and Antonyms Questions

This part of the aptitude carries 8 marks in HCL and Infosys its like half of the verbal is
synonyms and antonyms. So a little concentration should be provided to this area. Most of the
words used are GRE high frequency words and if not they are going to new words.
For early preparation lets say you have couple of months before Infosys or HCL its better you
read the editorial column in the news papers and follow the below stated steps.
i. Experiment with synonyms
After you see the meaning of a word, look up its usage in the sentence that is usually present in
the dictionary. Note down this sentence. Prepare a new sentence after understanding the meaning
of the word.

ii. Prepare sentences with antonyms
So the next step is to find the antonym of the word, this further helps you to store the word well
in your mind. Now try to form a sentence or couple of sentences with the antonyms.
iii. Compare synonyms and antonyms
Use both the synonym (a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word)
and the antonym to construct sentences using the same context or situation. This procedure
enables you to see a word from both sides.
If you can follow this strategy, it would definitely solve your problem of learning new words
without forgetting their meaning.
iv. Important: Use the same context
You should always use the same background to write sentences using a new word, its synonyms
and antonyms. If you use different circumstances, events or situations to get acquainted with the
meaning and the usage of a word, there is a strong possibility that you may get confused.
It is the context that will always remind you of how the word is used, and will ensure you don‘t
forget the meaning easily.
This part will work only if you have a sufficient time to work out. Most of us don’t follow these
steps so we need a shortcut.

Shortcuts work, you can’t expect 100% result when your gonna use shortcuts and most of these
tricks are tricky too…
GRE Techniques can be used:
Week before the placements go for the online test link and apply these techniques and see if they
are working out for you… These tricks are enough for all companies, but Infosys it won’t work
out

Trick 1
Try to put the word in a sentence or a phrase and guess its meaning
Trick 2
When you have a word try to guess all its synonyms and from the answers see the exact word
which has the same meaning, in the case of antonym the opposite meaning
Trick 3
Read all the options, most of us think of time and come up with the answer which has close
match to the word. But there is an actual word with the same meaning hidden there.
Trick 4
First know the part of the speech the word is used in… For example the word run can be used as
a verb but it could also be used as noun like ‗home run‘ so make sure you know the part of
speech before answering.
Trick 5
Some words are eye catchy, you immediately think its going to be the antonym/synonym, but
most of the guesses are not gonna be right so go through the options once again unless your sure
of the answer
