The correct option is: finding synonyms and antonyms of a word.
A thesaurus is a reference book or tool used to find synonyms (words with similar meanings) and antonyms (words with opposite meanings) of a given word. It can help expand your vocabulary and provide alternative word choices when writing or speaking. To use a thesaurus, you simply look up a word and it will provide you with a list of related words that you can use instead. This can be very helpful when you want to avoid repeating certain words or when you are looking for a more precise or nuanced word to convey your meaning.
