    The Boolean operator, AND, is used to link or group synonyms (i.e. words with similar meanings). 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer, which is False, is that the Boolean operator AND is actually used to link or group different search terms or keywords, not synonyms. When using the AND operator in a search query, it narrows down the search results by requiring that all the specified terms must be present in the results. Therefore, it is not used to link or group synonyms with similar meanings.
