Teaching Note: When looking for synonyms, ask yourself: "Does this word mean the same thing?"

- D) rapid is a synonym
Teaching Note: Three of the options are synonyms. The one that is different is the antonym.

Section B: Context Clues (Questions 6–10, 2 marks each)
6. Answer: B) very big (2 marks)
Explanation: The sentence says the pumpkin was "too heavy to lift." This context clue tells us the pumpkin must be very large/big. Enormous means extremely large.
- A) very small would make it light, not heavy
- C) very light contradicts "too heavy"
- D) very round does not explain why it is heavy
Teaching Note: Use the rest of the sentence ("too heavy to lift") as a clue to the meaning of the unknown word.
7. Answer: C) very happy (2 marks)
Explanation: The context is receiving a gift, which is usually a positive experience. Delighted means feeling great pleasure or joy — stronger than just "happy."
- A) sad and B) angry are negative emotions, unlikely when receiving a gift
- D) surprised could happen, but delighted specifically means happy, not just shocked
Teaching Note: Delighted = very happy. The suffix -ed shows it describes a feeling.
8. Answer: C) smooth and gentle to touch (2 marks)
Explanation: The sentence pairs soft with fluffy. Both describe textures that are pleasant to touch. Soft means not hard or rough.

Teaching Note: When two adjectives are joined by and, they often have similar or related meanings.
9. Answer: B) moved quickly (2 marks)

Teaching Note: The phrase so we would not be late gives the reason for hurrying — it signals speed.
10. Answer: C) not afraid (2 marks)
Explanation: The firefighter rescued a cat from a tree, which can be scary/dangerous. Brave means showing courage, not being afraid in the face of danger.
- A) scared is the opposite
- B) strong is physical, but bravery is about courage
- D) fast is about speed, not courage
