Reading Academic Vocabulary Practice Test

Understanding synonyms helps you see how language can express the same idea with different words. A synonym is a word that has the same or very similar meaning as another word, so it matches the prompt’s description precisely. The other terms describe different concepts: the main idea is the central point of a passage, facts are statements that can be proven, and the topic is what the text is about. So, the word that means the same as another word is a synonym.
