a word or phrase that has an opposite meaning
The correct option that describes an antonym is "a word or phrase that has an opposite meaning."
The option that describes an antonym is: "a word or phrase that has an opposite meaning."
To understand why this is the correct option, let's break down the question:
An antonym is a word or phrase that has an opposite meaning to another word or phrase. It is essentially the opposite of a synonym, which is a word or phrase that has a similar meaning to another word or phrase.
Given the options provided:
- The first option, "a word or phrase that is familiar," does not describe an antonym, as it does not imply any opposite meaning. It is also repeated twice, which might be an error.
- The second option, "a word or phrase that is a model of something," does not describe an antonym either, as it focuses on being a model rather than having an opposite meaning.
- The third option, "a word or phrase that has an opposite meaning," is the correct option, as it directly defines an antonym.
- The fourth option, "a word or phrase that has a similar meaning," describes a synonym, not an antonym. Therefore, it is not the correct option.
So, the correct option is indeed "a word or phrase that has an opposite meaning."
