Daniel is reading chapter four of The Way Science Works. As he writes a summary, he rereads it and discovers he has used the wor
d 'convenient' four times. Which BEST identifies the reference material that Daniel could consult to avoid using the same word over and over?
A) dictionary
B) encyclopedia
C) glossary
D) thesaurus
A thesaurus is a reference work that organizes words according to meaning (as opposed to a dictionary, which lists them in alphabetical order). A thesaurus is especially useful in order to find synonyms and antonyms, or to find the specific word that best describes a situation. As Daniel struggles to think of words that have a similar meaning to "convenient," he is likely to benefit from using this reference work.
