Example Question #282 : Synonyms
A synonym of "nourish" is . . .
natural
seed
grow
plant
feed
feed
Since "nourish" is a verb that means "provide with food," we need to find another verb that means "to provide with food." While "grow" may seem like a good answer because things that are nourished can grow, "grow" does not mean the same thing as "nourish," so it can't be the right answer. Since "feed" means "provide with food," "feed" is the correct answer.
Example Question #283 : Synonyms
A synonym of "flee" is . . .
vacation
escape
insect
quick
town
escape
Since "flee" is a verb that means "run away," we need to find another verb that means "run away." Spelling is important - while "insect" might look like a good choice because a "flea" is an insect, to "flee" is to run away, so "insect" is not the correct answer. Similarly, "fleet," which is only one letter away from "flee," means "quick," but neither word means "run away," so "quick" isn't the correct answer either. Since "escape" means "run away," it is the correct answer.
