A synonym of "stone" is . . .
A synonym of "stone" is . . .
Since "stone" is a noun that means "small rock," we need to find another noun that also means "small rock." While "mountain" may seem like a good answer because mountains are made of stone, "mountain" doesn't mean the same thing as "stone," so it can't be the correct answer. Since "pebble" is a noun that means "a small stone worn smooth by sand or water," "pebble" is the correct answer.

Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
PARCEL
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
PARCEL
“Parcel” is a noun that can mean “a thing or collection of things wrapped in paper in order to be carried or sent by mail,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “a thing wrapped in paper to be sent by mail.” That means that “paper” cannot be the correct answer, because if a “parcel” is by definition wrapped in paper, it is probably not paper itself. “Package,” however, is a word that when used as a noun, can mean “an object or group of objects wrapped in paper or plastic, or packed in a box,” and because “package” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “parcel,” “package” is the correct answer.

ROUTE
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
ROUTE
“Route” is a word that can be used as a verb or a noun, but because all of the answer choices are nouns, we will need to consider “route” as a noun. When used as a noun, “route” means “a way taken in getting from a starting point to a destination,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “a way” or “a course.” That means that “map” cannot be the correct answer, because while a map may show a route, “map” does not mean the same thing as “route.” “Path,” however, is a noun that can mean “a track laid down for walking, or made through continual passage” or “ the direction in which something is moving,” and because “path” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “route,” “path” is the correct answer.
