Examples of Synonyms 1
Here are some solved exercises! We will be

able to measure the degree to which we have mastered our vocabulary and to what
extent we have assimilated the theoretical explanations.
1. COMPLACENCY
A) joy
B) triumph
C) hullabaloo
D) lust
E) fruition
APPROACH
COMPLACENCY f. Satisfaction, pleasure and contentment resulting from
something. : m. Long live joy, especially that which is manifested by
A)
outward signs.
jubilation
B) : m. Victory, action and effect of triumphing.
triumph : f. fig. Confused shouting of several people talking at the same
C) noise time.
: f. Vice consisting of the illicit use or disordered appetite for
D) lust carnal delights.
E) fruition : f. Willingness, taste or liking.
RATIONALE
COMPLACENCY refers to the state of joy or good feeling, product of an action or
activity. Let's apply the term in an example:
"The teacher was very complacently evaluating his excellent student body."
Among the alternatives, the words that belong to the same semantic field and present
greater proximity in their meanings are júbilo and fruición. However, complacency is
mostly internal and relates to the pleasure we experience when something goes as
expected, while jubilation is joy vividly manifested. Therefore, the word of most
similar meaning and of coincident application to the premise is fruition. To verify the
answer, we will replace this word in the previous sentence:
"The teacher evaluated his excellent students with great relish ".
Answer (E)
2. CINICO
A) crude B) untruthful C) hypocritical D) mendacious E) evil APPROACH
2. CYNIC : adj. Impudent, procacious. // Showing cynicism or shamelessness in
lying.
A) crude : adj. Coarse, coarse, rude.
B)inverecundo : adj. That he has no shame.
C) hypocrite : adj. Acting with hypocrisy or pretense.
D) mendacious : adj. Liar, who does not tell the truth.
E) evil : adj. It is said of the bad person, perverse, badly inclined.
RATIONALE
A CYNIC is an indecent person, who shows no respect for his own honor or that of
others. That is why he has no qualms about transgressing moral norms. In other words,
he is the shameless or brazen one. For example:
"The cynical con man smiled at his victims."
The meaning of cynical refers primarily to a lack of shame. In this sense, the possible
answers are: untruthful, hypocritical and mendacious.
Therefore, mendacious refers to one who tells lies, but does not necessarily indicate a
brazen attitude. Something similar happens with the hypocrite: however false he may
be, nothing indicates that he is at the same time shameless.
Therefore, since the word inverecundo refers to one who has no shame, then it is more
akin to cynic than the others.
Thus, we state that:
"The inverecund swindler smiled at his victims."
Answer (B)
3. VERSADO
A) knowledgeable B) seasoned C) poet D) intelligent E) skilled APPROACH
3. VERSATED : adj. Practical, instructed, trained...
A) connoisseu : adj. Who knows. // Expert, knowledgeable in some subject.
r : adj. Used to.
B) seasoned : m. That he has the faculties to compose poetic works.
C) poet : adj. Gifted with the ability to understand or comprehend.
D) smart : adj. Able and willing for any exercise or trade.
E) Skillful
RATIONALE
VERSADO refers to the expert or educated. It is generally applied to a person who has
a deep mastery of a subject or discipline. For example:
"On indigenous idiosyncrasy, Arguedas proved to be the most knowledgeable".
Versado is linked to the plane of knowledge; therefore, the word with the closest
meaning is conocedor. So, we can assert that:
"On indigenous idiosyncrasy, Arguedas proved to be the most knowledgeable".
Adept designates the subject who is accustomed to a certain activity, but does not refer
specifically to what type of activity. Thus, we can speak of "a seasoned pilot" or "a
seasoned criminal".
Poet is restricted to literary production.
Intelligent is the subject who is endowed with the ability to assimilate concepts with
ease and to face any problem, especially of an academic nature. Answer (A)
4. VEROSIMIL
A) true B) trustworthy C) sincere D) credible E) chimerical APPROACH
5. VEROSIMIL : adj. Having the appearance of truth.
A) real : adj. Containing truth.
B) complex : adj. Complicated, entangled, difficult.
C) sincere : adj. Who acts with simplicity, truthfulness and without pretense.
D) credible : adj. That it can or deserves to be taken as true.
E) chimerical : adj. Fabulous, pretended or imagined without foundation.
RATIONALE
VEROSIMIL refers to that testimony, argument or statement that resembles the real
thing and generally arouses credulity or confidence in people. For example: "The
witness statement was credible".
Now, replacing plausible by its synonym, we would say: "The witness statement was
credible".
True refers to that which has a faithful correspondence with reality. While the true
contains the truth in essence; the plausible only in appearance. The true "must "be
"believed; the plausible "may "be believed.
Chimerical refers to the idea or argument that is foreign to reality, but not to the
possibility of it being true or not.
Answer (D)
6. FRÍVOLO
A) fickle B) vacuous C) insubstantial D) impertinent E) cold APPROACH
: adj. Light, superficial, without major content.
5.FRÍVOLO shows, songs, dances and people, especially women, who perform them.
A) fickle : adj. Inconstant, versatile or volatile character.
B) empty : adj. Empty, lacking in content.
C) insubstantial : adj. Of little or no essential component.
D) impertinent : adj. That is not relevant, or that is annoying in word or deed.
: adj. Applied to bodies whose temperature is much lower than that of
E)
the environment.
cold
RATIONALE
FRÍVOLO has two meanings. Interpreting the first, we note that it refers to trivial or
superficial things, which do not nourish the spirit, but only recreate it. Frivolous
can be a gift, an idea or an opinion that does not contribute to the development of the
individual, but rather produces alienation or simple entertainment.
"Most television programs are frivolous" Substituting with the answer, we would say:
"Most television programs are insubstantial."
Fickle designates a person who changes his or her mind easily, but does not refer to his
or her lack of importance. Void refers only to the lack of material content, to the absence
of objects or substances within a medium. And the word impertinent is applied to an
untimely person or action.
Answer (C)
6. INQUIRY
A) to inculcate B) to suspect C) to predict D) to investigate E) to observe
APPROACH
6.1 NQUIRIR : tr. To inquire, find out or carefully examine a thing.
A) inculcate : tr. fig. To repeat a thing to oneself with effort or many times.
B) suspect : tr. To distrust, doubt, be suspicious of a person.
C) predict : tr. To forecast, to guess, to prophesy.
D) research : tr. To make diligences to discover a thing.
E) see : tr. Examine carefully. // To keep and fulfill what is commanded.
RATIONALE
INQUIRE is referred to the great deployment of effort in the search for information or
knowledge. This is the case of the work carried out by professionals, scientists, police
officers, etc.
Possible answers are the words vaticinar, investigar and observar. However, the
alternative that has the closest meaning to the premise is to investigate, since it refers to
any activity that involves inquiry for the discovery of something new that satisfies an
expectation. Moreover, it is a systematic work because there is an order, a sequence. For
example, tell us:
"It is a salutary act of every intellectual to inquire well into a subject before speaking on
it" The above is equivalent to saying:
"It is a salutary act of every scholar to research a subject well before disserting on it."
To predict does not refer to inquiring or investigating, but rather implies anticipating
through intuition a future event or outcome. Observingrefers to the use of the senses to
ascertain a phenomenon; it is only one aspect of the research activity.
Answer (D)
7. PROBO
A) polite B) elegant C) docile D) upright E) demure APPROACH
7. PROBO : adj. Having or acting with honesty.
A) polite B) : adj. Having good instruction or civility.
graceful C) : adj. Endowed with grace, nobility and simplicity.
docile : adj. Gentle, gentle, easily taught.
: adj. Which is not lacking in any of its parts. // Describes a person who is
D) in full upright, honest, blameless.
: adj. Circumspect, cautious, decent, modest. Applies particularly to
E) demure women.
RATIONALE
PROBO is a person who performs in accordance with the moral principle of honesty. It
can be applied, for example, to the professional or civil servant who acts with rectitude
and is not corrupt. Thus, we can state:
"Probable judges do not allow themselves to be overwhelmed by the corruption of a
system."
The answer can be found in the words educated, upright, demure. However, the one
that is most similar to the premise is íntegro, because it also alludes to the person who
has no blemish, who is honest, who acts on the basis of principles, which prevent him
from being dishonest in his actions. On the other hand, polite designates those who have
knowledge and follow certain rules of courtesy in their dealings with others. However,
there may be very kind, very polite people who allow themselves to be bribed. Demure
refers to one who proceeds with moderation, with decency. It is linked to the way of
dressing and speaking. Therefore, we verify the synonym of probo in the following
expression:
"Judges of integrity do not submit to the corruption of the system."
Answer (D)
8. SALACITY
A) pleasure B) nymphomania C) lasciviousness D) corruption E) morbidity
PROPOSITION : f. Vehement inclination to carnal pleasures.
8.
: m. Enjoyment, spiritual enjoyment.
SALACITY
: f. Uterine rage (behavioral disorder that produces an exaggerated
A) pleasure sexual desire in women).
B) lewdness : f. Propensity to sexual delights.
C)
D) corruption : f. Action and effect of degenerating.
nymphomania
E) morbidity : f. Morbid or diseased quality. // Softness, softness.
RATIONALE
SALACITY refers to the exaggerated practice of sexual intercourse by both males and
females. The salacious is the subject whose life revolves around carnal delights.
Pleasure, nymphomania and lasciviousness may constitute a response. However,
pleasure does not necessarily refer to the sensation that comes from sexual intercourse,
as we can experience pleasure listening to music, reading a book, breathing fresh
country air, etc. Nymphomania refers to the highly exaggerated inclination of sexual
practice in women. Moreover, it is psychopathological. The word that most closely
resembles the premise and indicates an exaggerated inclination for sexual intercourse,
both in the male and female gender, is lasciviousness.
Therefore, it can be expressed interchangeably:
" Salacity can lead to the loss of moral values" " Lewdness can lead to the loss of moral
values" Answer (C)
9. CANNING
A) B) C) D) E)
brittle discouraged discouraged fainting inconsistent bendable APPROACH
9. ENERVADO : adj. Weakened or with diminished strength.
A) brittle : adj. Easy to break // fig. Delicate in health.
B) discouraged : adj. No encouragement, cowed.
C) fainted : adj. Fainting, with breath and strength failing.
D) inconsistent : adj. Lack of durability, stability, solidity.
E) folding : adj. Who can desist from a purpose.
RATIONALE
ENERVED applies to those who have experienced a decrease or loss of their physical
strength, of their vitality. Therefore, there is a depletion and imbalance at the organic
level.
"Typhoid left him enervated and his health broken."
The terms that express affinity to the premise are: inconsistent and faint. The breadth
of the former and its different application make it disqualified as an answer, since
inconsistent could well be a structure, a theory, an argument, etc. On the other hand,
desfallecido refers to the physical and psychic decay of the subject. Therefore,
substituting the term of the premise for the alternative, we would say: "Typhoid left him
weak and his health broken".
Answer (C)
10. BEODO
A) bohemian B) inebriated C) alienated D) rapturous E) lethargic
: adj. Who has a disturbed mind because of drinking
10. BEODO alcoholic beverages in excess, or who has the vice of drinking alcoholic
beverages in excess.
: adj. A person who lives a life apart from social norms and conventions,
A)
mainly artists and writers.
bohemian
B) dipsomaniac : adj. Having an irresistible tendency to consume alcoholic beverages.
C) alienated : adj. It applies to a person who has lost his mind.
D) snatched : adj. Acting with force and violence.
E) lethargic : adj. Being in a state of lethargy (sleep).
RATIONALE
The term BEODO designates both the state and the condition of the person who drinks
alcoholic beverages in excess. Thus, we will say:
"She had the bad luck to marry a bearded man."
The words that present proximity of meaning with the premise are: bohemian and
dipsomaniac. The latter is much more precise since it is circumscribed to the act, or
habit, of drinking; while bohemian expresses the general concept of a disorderly and
libertine life. Therefore, replacing the term beodo with the answer, we would say: "She
had the bad luck of marrying a dipsomaniac" Answer (B)
11. ESCATIMAR
A) diminish
B) decrease
C) subtract
D) shorten
E) mezquinar
APPROACH
: tr. To encircle, diminish, make scarce what is to be given or done.
11. ESCATIMAR
shortening it as much as possible.
A) diminish : intr. To lower or diminish a thing or to consume a part of it.
B) diminish : tr. To make the extent, intensity or number of a thing less. : tr. To
C) subtract set apart, to separate, to extract. // To steal, to steal fraudulently.
D) shorten E) : tr. To decrease the length, duration, or quantity of a thing.
reduce E) : tr. To bargain or to give with meanness something.
reduce
RATIONALE
ESCATIMATE is the negative attitude that consists of not giving what should be given.
For example, we can say:
"It is absurd to skimp on education while splurging on entertainment."
In that sense, one can speak of the act of stinginess as the reduction of necessary
expenses. Both skimping and stinginess are negative acts because they consist of giving
too little or not giving at all. In addition, both words imply noncompliance with some
obligation. To diminish is to diminish a thing naturally, as happens with fruits or some
tubers, by the action of the environment or other factors. To shorten means to make lose
length or decrease the duration of something. Therefore, replacing the premise with the
answer, we can say: "A parent should not stingy with expenses in the education of his or
her children" Answer (E)
12. ALTISONANT
A) ornate
B) bombastic
C) abundant
D) redundant
E) large
APPROACH
mode of 12. : adj. Describes the sonorous and affected style in the
express themselves.
A) ornate : adj. Decorated with ornaments.
B) bombastic : adj. Ostentatious, eye-catching.
C) abundant : adj. Copious, in large quantities.
D) redundant : adj. The word or concept that is repeated excessively.
E) large : adj. Large in quantity or number.
RATIONALE
The term ALTISONANT alludes, above all, to the mode of expression with many
embellishments, usually to make a great impression. Thus, we can say: "He approached
people with high-flown language."
The words that come closest are: ornate, bombastic and redundant. Adorned alludes
to a number of things that have decorative applications. Redundant refers exclusively to
the number of times an expression is repeated unnecessarily, but does not indicate the
form in which it is uttered. Bombastic refers to a showy form that seeks to attract
attention. Therefore, replacing the word in the quoted sentence, it can be said: "He
approached people with bombastic language" Answer (B)
13. VOCINGLERY
A) disorder
B) ovation
C) bustle
D) resonance
E) vociferation
APPROACH
VOCINGLERY : m. Noise of many voices occurring at the same time.
A) disorder : m. Confusion and disturbance of order. // Riot, riot.
: f. and fig. Loud applause that is collectively given to a person.
B) ovation
: m. Noise and buzz produced by many people.
C) bustle : f. Prolongation of sound that decreases by degrees.
D) resonance : f. Action and effect of giving great voices. // Publication with
lightness and boastfulness.
E) vociferation
RATIONALE
The word VOCINGLERÍO refers to the unpleasant sound caused by a group of people
expressing themselves at the same time. What is fundamental here are the voices that
generate noise. Therefore, it can be stated:
"The unwelcome news caused an unusual hubbub among the attendees."
The terms that most closely resemble it are boisterousness and vociferation. The latter
refers to the intense voice that usually comes from a single person. Noise refers to the
prolonged and annoying noise that generally occurs in public places. The word ovation
also has some affinity, although it refers to something physical, since it is the emission
of applause that is made to honor someone. For the reasons expressed, the best synonym
is bustle.
Answer (C)
14. VENUSTEZ
A) aesthetic
B) perfection
C) beauty
D) harmony
E) charm
APPROACH
VENUSTEZ : f. Perfect or very graceful beauty.
A) aesthetic : adj. Pertaining or relating to beauty.
B) : f. The action of finishing a work entirely, giving it the possible degree of
perfection excellence.
C) beldad : f. Beauty of things, more particularly, that of women.
D) harmony : f. Convenient proportion and correspondence of one thing to another.
E) charm : fig. A person or thing that suspends or enraptures. // fig. Physical
attractiveness.
RATIONALE
The term VENUSTEZ refers to the perfection of physical appearance, to the aesthetics
of a person's features. Thus, we can express:
"Cleopatra's venuseness dazzled more than one emperor".
Aesthetic is relative to beauty, but it is not beauty itself; moreover, it is an adjective, not
a noun as is venerability. Then, the words that are also similar are beldad and encanto.
The latter alludes, in the first meaning, to the very subject that possesses beauty and not
to its quality; in the second meaning, it refers to the impression that something singular
generates in others, but does not describe the appearance itself. So, the answer is beauty.
Replacing now, we can say:
"Cleopatra's beauty dazzled more than one emperor."
In addition, it is clear that the meaning of this word is mostly used to describe the
physical appearance of women.
Answer (C)
15. TENAZ
A) consisting of
B) insistent
C) consequent
D) persistent
E) rigid
APPROACH
: adj. That sticks, clings or attaches to a thing and is difficult to detach. //
15. TENAZ Who stands firm in his purposes or desires.
A) consistent : adj. Having stability or solidity.
B) insistent : adj. Repeated requests.
: adj. A person whose conduct corresponds logically to
she
the principles he or professes.
D) persistent : adj. One who remains firm or constant in a thing.
E) rigid : adj. That cannot be bent or twisted // fig. Rigorous, severe.
RATIONALE
According to the second meaning, the word TENAZ is used for the person who has the
virtue of persevering until he achieves the objective he has set himself. For example:
"We need a journalist who is tenacious in the pursuit of information."
The most similar alternative is persistent, because it also alludes to the one who is
constant until he achieves his goal. Insistent is a person who repeatedly requests or
demands things. Consistent is the person who in his actions reflects the moral principles
he claims to have. Rigorous, in the second sense, is one who is drastic when demanding
or sanctioning a fault. Consequently, permuting the terms, we could also say:
"It's hard to outwit such a persistent detective."
Answer (D)
16. CONCISO
A) laconic
B) short
C) reduced
D) concrete
E) simple
APPROACH
16. : adj. That it has brevity and economy of means in the manner of
expressing
CONCISE a concept accurately.
A) laconic : adj. That speaks or writes in a brief or concise manner.
B) short : adj. Unvarnished and unvarnished, strict.
C) reduced : adj. Narrow, small, limited.
D) concrete : adj. Solid, compact, material. // Precise, determined, no vagueness
E) simple : adj. Simple, uncomplicated and straightforward.
RATIONALE
CONCISE qualifies a person who, when expressing himself, uses very few words with
the intention of being precise. In this sense, laconic is closer, because it designates the
one who expresses himself briefly both in speaking and in writing. On the other hand,
we speak of a terse report, not because of the number of words it contains, but because
of its simple, direct and straightforward style. The word concrete, in its second
meaning, is somewhat similar to the premise, but refers to the accuracy or precision of
the expression "A concrete concept" is one that leaves no doubt.
Therefore, if we speak of "a concise speaker" we can also say "a laconic speaker".
Answer (A)
17. PROFICUO
A) favorable
B) beneficial
C) convenient
D) lucrative
E) excellent
APPROACH : adj. Profitable, advantageous, favorable.
17.
: adj. Adequate, conducive to the realization of a good. : adj. Necessary,
PROFICUO
A) favorable essential.
B) precise C) convenient : adj. Timely, which is relevant.
D) lucrative : adj. Producing profit and gain.
E) excellent : adj. Excelling in goodness, merit or esteem.
RATIONALE
If PROFICUOUS refers to that which generates profit or advantage, then we can say:
"profitable climate", for example. Among the alternatives, the closest word is
propitious, because it alludes to that which favors the achievement of an objective.
Convenient is that which is pertinent, that which is pertinent; it refers to the opportunity
with which things are done or said. For example, we can speak of "a convenient
opinion". Profitable , on the other hand, is a very restricted word because it only refers
to that which generates economic income.
Consequently, replacing the premise by the answer, we can also speak of "an enabling
environment".
Answer (A)
18. ESCARNIO
A) imprecation
B) damage
C) irony
D) sarcasm
E) offense
APPROACH
. : m. Taunt or tenacious mockery made for the purpose of affront.
ESCARNIO
: f. The action and effect of uttering words expressing a strong desire
A) imprecation that someone suffer harm or damage.
B) damage : m. The effect of causing or causing harm or damage to oneself.
: f. Fine and disguised mockery. // A figure of speech that consists of
C) irony implying the opposite of what is said.
: m. Bloody mockery, biting and cruel irony with which people or things
D) sarcasm are offended or mistreated.
E) offense : f. The action and effect of insulting by word or deed.
RATIONALE
ESCARNIO refers to hurtful mockery, that which makes the person to whom it is
directed feel bad; it manifests itself in words or gestures. Similar terms are: irony,
sarcasm and offense. Among them, the one that also implies hurtful and harsh mockery
is sarcasm. Irony aims at correcting a defect; moreover, it is characterized by its
subtlety. Offense is placed at the level of the word or action, but does not indicate
whether the purpose is to make the person look bad or not. In addition, an offensive
expression is eventual, fleeting and of low intensity.
Consequently, we can say:
" Scorn against the defeated enemy is proper to the ignoble man."
In this sentence, the word sarcasm can replace scorn without any problem. Answer (D)
19. AULIC
A) ufano
B) authoritarian
C) excellent
D) palatial
E) bourgeois
APPROACH
19.
: adj. Belonging to the court or palace.
AULIC
A) ufano : adj. Arrogant, presumptuous, conceited.
B) authoritari :adj. Extreme supporter of the principle of authority.
an : adj. Very illustrious, excellent.
C) excellent : adj. Pertaining or relating to the palace.
D) palatial : m. Affluent or affluent middle class citizen. It is currently used as
opposed to proletarian.
E) bourgeois
RATIONALE
The term AULIC is applied to everything that is directly linked to the majesty of the
court or palace. Thus, we can speak of an "aulic ceremony", in which only people close
to the court nobility have a place. The words that have the greatest affinity of meaning
with the premise are: eximio,
palatial and bourgeois. But bourgeois only refers to a person belonging to a social
stratum, it gives us a simple idea of status and rank, but does not allude to origin or
lineage. Something similar happens with the term eximio. Therefore, the term with the
highest semantic affinity is palatial. Thus, the following expressions are equivalent: "
aulic meeting "or" palace meeting".
Answer (D)
20. ÍRRITO
A) fraudulent
B) invalid
C) repealed
D) corrected
E) acquitted
APPROACH
20. IRRIT : adj. Worthless, null and void, without force or obligation.
A) fraudulent : adj. Deceptive, fallacious.
:adj. Lacking strength and vigor. // Fig. Null and void and of no value for
B) invalid
not having the conditions required by law.
C) repealed : adj. The law that has been abolished or annulled.
D) corrected : adj. Refer to the amended error
E) acquitted : adj. That he has been declared free of guilt.
RATIONALE
IRRIT applies to personal documents, resolutions or dispositions without legal value.
Possible answers would be fraudulent, invalid, repealed. However, the word with the
closest meaning is invalid in its second meaning, since it also applies to documents,
signatures, etc., which lack legal force. In this regard, we can say the following:
"An unlawful contract does not generate any obligation on the part of the contracting
parties."
In this sentence you can replace invalid with invalid without any problem.
any. Fraudulent applies to that which pretends to be authentic. For example:
"Fraudulent stamp". Repealed applies to laws that have lost force, that are outdated.
Consequently, the answer would be as follows:
"An invalid contract does not generate any obligation in the contracting parties".

Exercises No. 4
IMPROPER
A) unnecessary
B) disproportionate
C) alienated
D) exogenous
E) impertinent
Solution: IMPROPER refers to that which does not correspond to the lack of suitable
qualities according to the circumstances. Therefore, we can say that "he made a gesture
unbecoming of his investiture", that is, he made an inappropriate, improper gesture (a
