What does the term 'antonyms' refer to?

• A. Words that have the same meaning.
• B. Words that have opposite meanings.
• C. Numbers that are added.
• D. The bottom number of a fraction.

Answer: (B)

Antonyms are words with opposite meanings. Recognizing them helps you understand contrasts between ideas and grow your vocabulary. The correct choice describes pairs of words where one means the opposite of the other, like hot and cold or happy and sad. The other options describe words with the same meaning (synonyms), adding numbers, or the bottom number of a fraction (denominator), which are not about antonyms.
