To determine which resource fits each description, we need to understand what each resource is used for. Here's an explanation of each resource:
1. Dictionary: A dictionary provides the definitions, spellings, pronunciations, and sometimes the etymology (word origin) of words.
2. Thesaurus: A thesaurus is used to find synonyms (words with similar meanings) and antonyms (words with opposite meanings) for a given word.
3. Glossary: A glossary is a list of specialized or technical terms used in a specific text or field, along with their definitions.
Now let's match each resource to the correct description:
A. To find the pronunciation of a word, you would typically consult a dictionary since it provides the pronunciation guide.
B. To find the synonyms and antonyms of a word, you would use a thesaurus since it specifically provides lists of words with similar and opposite meanings.
C. To find a list of words and their definitions at the end of a text, you would refer to a glossary since a glossary provides explanations of specialized terms used within the text.
So, the correct matching is:
A. Dictionary (for word pronunciation)
B. Thesaurus (for synonyms and antonyms)
C. Glossary (for definitions at the end of a text)
