Answer:

The correct answer to the question: In addition to the definition, what does a word-conscious writer consider when selecting synonyms, would be: the tone, the mood and the connotation.

Explanation:

The use of synonyms in writing is highly important because these help to avoid a word, a sentence, or a concept, becoming repetitive. Instead, these synonyms open up the field, increase the interest of the reader and help to motivate curiosity and emotions in them that will make them feel interested further. Synonyms also show the mastery that a writer has of a language and of the written word, making a reader feel sure that what he selected will be good. However, wrong selection of synonyms can completely obliterate a text, no matter how good the ideas are. The reason is that a bad chosen synonym can completely upset the tone that the original word had set, it can also change the mood and lead towards something the writer did not intend, and it can definitely affect the comprehension of a text if the connotation is wrong. This is why the word-conscious writer is careful when selecting the synonyms he/she will use when writing.
