Introduction
Vocabulary is the foundation of effective communication in any language. A strong command of words and their meanings helps learners express ideas clearly, understand texts easily, and perform better in examinations. One of the best ways to improve vocabulary is by learning synonyms, which are words that have the same or nearly the same meaning.
This collection of 100 words with 5 synonyms each is designed to support students, competitive exam aspirants (SSC, Banking, Railways, State PSC), and general learners. The words included are common, practical, and frequently used in spoken and written English. Regular practice of these synonyms will enhance language skills, improve writing quality, and boost confidence in English communication.
