How do synonyms best help readers to figure out the meaning of unknown words? They restate the word in the sentence with another word or words that have a similar meaning. They provide a word that signals that the author will use a word with the opposite meaning. They provide an example of the word in the sentence, so readers can support their ideas with details. They are listed in a dictionary or thesaurus, making it easy to find the meaning of an unknown word.

c) This is sometimes done, but not always.

d)  This item is true, but self evident. The answer is between a,b and d

I think d is the most practical.

I think a is what you are intended to answer.
