Synonyms and antonyms
Words with similar and opposite meanings in Garo, and choosing the right one for the context.
What this topic covers
Synonyms are words with similar meanings; antonyms are words with opposite meanings. NCET asks you to pick the closest synonym or antonym for a word, often as it is used in a sentence.
How to solve it
- Read the question carefully: synonym or antonym? Students lose easy marks by mixing them up.
- Think of the word in a sentence, then try each option in its place.
- Use word parts where Garo has them: prefixes and roots often signal meaning or opposite meaning.
- Watch for options that are related to the word but are neither similar nor opposite.
How to build vocabulary
- Learn words in groups: a word, two synonyms, two antonyms and an example sentence.
- Revise your list every week; vocabulary is learned by repetition.
