Which words are considered synonymous?

Affluent, Wealthy
Rich, Poor
Happy, Sad
Bright, Dull

The correct answer is: Affluent, Wealthy

The words "affluent" and "wealthy" are synonymous because they both convey a similar meaning related to having a lot of money or abundant resources. When used in a sentence, they describe someone or something that is financially prosperous or well-off. This similarity in meaning makes these two words interchangeable in many contexts. The other pairs of words do not share this synonymous relationship. "Rich" and "poor," for example, represent opposing states regarding wealth, making them antonyms rather than synonyms. Similarly, "happy" and "sad" are also opposing emotions, while "bright" and "dull" refer to different qualities—brightness versus lack of intensity or life. Therefore, "affluent" and "wealthy" stand out as the only pair that genuinely shares a synonymous relationship.
