The statement "When using a thesaurus, it is beneficial to remember that similar words often have different implied meanings.! is true

it is important to highlight that words often have more than one meaning. Words have both a denotation and a connotation.

A thesaurus is similar to a dictionary. It lists words for reference. Nevertheless, words in a thesaurus are grouped together based on similarity of meaning. It is a useful tool to turn to when writing since it contains  synonyms for words and therefore enrich our vocabulary  preventing us from being repetitive.
