Submit
19. Which two words are not antonyms?

Explanation

The words "small" and "tiny" are synonyms, not antonyms. They both mean something of a small size. Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. In this case, "dark" and "light" are antonyms as they represent opposite ends of the spectrum of brightness. Similarly, "tall" and "short" are antonyms as they represent opposite ends of the spectrum of height. Finally, "night" and "day" are antonyms as they represent opposite times of the day.

Submit
20. Adverbs can tell when or how something happens.

Therefore, the statement that adverbs can tell when or how something happens is true.

Submit
