4th Thesaurus
A thesaurus is a book that lists synonyms and sometimes antonyms for words. Synonyms are words that have similar meanings, while antonyms are words with opposite meanings. Using a thesaurus can help improve writing by finding the right word to convey precise meaning and introducing new vocabulary. The thesaurus entry words are alphabetized, and under each entry are listed alternative words to substitute.
