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

"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.

"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.

“Solo,” when used as an adjective, means alone or by yourself, so "alone" is the best answer choice. To provide further help, “crafty” means cunning, sneaky and clever; “paired” means matched up in groups of two or put together with something else; “grave” means serious and sad; and “intrepid” means adventurous.

Both "tremendous" and "monumental" mean exceedingly large in importance or size, so "monumental" is the correct answer.

“Vast” means very big and expansive. To provide further help, “skinny” means thin; “plump” means rounded and somewhat fat; “loose” means unsecured or baggy. “Loose” and “tight” are antonyms of one another because they mean opposite things. “Skinny” and “plump” are also antonyms of one another.

The words "enlarged" and "bigger" are closest in meaning; these synonyms refer to something that has been made larger. The words "humongous," "enormous," "gigantic," and "huge" are all synonymous with each other. They refer to something that is extremely big; these words do not necessarily refer to something that has been made bigger or that has been enlarged.
