Section 3
Antonyms
The following section consists of eight sets of antonyms, or words with opposite meanings. Many antonyms
seem obvious (good and bad, night and day, noisy and silent), but others are not as easily recognizable.
This is because many words have more than one meaning. For example, the word clear could mean
cloudless or transparent or unmistakable. And, for each of those meanings clear has an opposite. If an
antonym isn't obvious, think about other possible meanings of the word. Also, don't be fooled by answer
choices that are synonyms. Remember that you are looking for a word that means the opposite, not a word
that means the same.break
