Synonyms: Adjectives Describing Quantity, Variety, Regularity, and Size - SSAT Elementary Level Verbal

"Enormous" means extremely large.

"Several" means a number of, but more than a couple.

"Crowded" means full or packed.

"Solitary" is an adjective that means "done or existing alone," or when describing a place, "secluded or isolated." So, we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "done alone" or "secluded." "Escorted" may look like a good answer, but "escorted" means "accompanied somewhere, especially for protection or security, or as a mark of rank." Because "escorted" means the opposite of "solitary," it cannot be the correct answer. "Unaccompanied," however, means "having no companion or escort." Because "unaccompanied" is closest in meaning to "solitary," "unaccompanied" is the correct answer.

Enormous can be substituted in for vast to maintain a similar meaning.

"Meager" is an adjective that means "lacking in quantity or quality," and used to refer to something provided or available. So, we need to pick out an adjective that means something like "lacking." While "sufficient" might look like a potentially correct answer, "sufficient" means "enough" or "adequate," "sufficient" is an opposite of "lacking," so it can't be the correct answer. "Paltry," however, is an adjective that means "small or meager" and is used to describe amounts. Since "paltry" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "meager," "paltry" is the correct answer.

"Large" could replace "substantial" to maintain the meaning of the sentence.

“Uniform,” when used as an adjective, means “not changing in form or character; remaining the same,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “not changing” or “similar to others.” That means that “varying” cannot be the correct answer, because when used as an adjective, “varying” means “differing in size, amount, degree, or nature from something else of the same general class,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “uniform.” “Consistent,” however, is an adjective that refers to a person, behavior, or process, and means “unchanging over a period of time,” and because “consistent” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “uniform,” “consistent” is the correct answer.

"Vast" means large; Small is the opposite; Dangerous means the potential to cause harm; Slow means moving at a low speed; and Invisible means not able to be seen.

"Total" means entire or complete.

"Tiny" means extremely small.

"Together" means with certain specified people or_collaboratively_. "Jointly" is our best answer choice, because it also means collaboratively and could describe people working together on a task.

Someone who is "gaunt" is thin and unhealthy, so "very thin" is the correct answer.

"Distinct" means separate, individual,or not together, so "separate" is the correct answer. None of the other answer choices are close in meaning to "distinct": "abolish" means get rid of a rule, law, or custom; "confirm" means agree that something is true or provide evidence that demonstrates that something is true; "raze" means destroy; and "opaque" means solid or unable to be seen through.

"Disparate" means separate or different, so "different" is the correct answer. To help you, "native" or "indigenous" people are people who are originally from a certain area. So, we might say that Native Americans are indigenous to the United States. Also, "composed" means either calm and collected or made.

"Excessive" means existing in too large of a quantity, so "too much" is the correct answer. To help you, "dynamic" means lively and energetic, and "remorseful" means sad and guilty.

"Vast" means huge and is often used to refer to areas of land, so "huge" is the correct answer.

The correct answer is "gigantic." "Gigantic" and "enormous" both mean very large. For example, one might say, "To the little girl, the elephant seemed gigantic".

"Split" means "divided" or disunited, so "divided" is the correct answer.

CUMULATIVE means amassed.
