The option that describes a synonym is "a word or phrase that has a similar meaning."
The correct option that describes a synonym is: "a word or phrase that has a similar meaning."
To determine the correct answer, you need to understand what a synonym is. A synonym is a word or phrase that has the same or a similar meaning as another word or phrase. In other words, it is a word or phrase that can be used interchangeably with another word or phrase to convey the same or a similar idea.
In the given options, the fourth option, "a word or phrase that is a model of something," does not have anything to do with similar meanings. Therefore, it can be eliminated as the correct answer.
The first option, "a word or phrase that is unfamiliar," means the opposite of a synonym, so it does not fit the definition.
The second option, "a word or phrase that has an opposite meaning," is the definition of an antonym, not a synonym. Antonyms are words or phrases that have opposite meanings.
The third option, "a word or phrase that has a similar meaning," accurately defines a synonym. Therefore, this option is the correct answer.
