I think stylistic ış true

Answer 2

Here are the types of synonyms for each pair of words:

a) absolute - brainy — intelligent (These are absolute synonyms, meaning they have nearly identical meanings and can be used interchangeably in most contexts.)

b) ideographic - fog — mist (These are ideographic synonyms, meaning they represent slightly different concepts or shades of meaning within a broader category. In this case, both "fog" and "mist" refer to atmospheric moisture, but "fog" typically implies thicker, denser moisture with reduced visibility, while "mist" suggests lighter, finer moisture with better visibility.)

c) stylistic - to begin — to commence (These are stylistic synonyms, meaning they have similar meanings but may be used in different contexts or have slight differences in tone. "To begin" is more common and neutral, while "to commence" is slightly more formal.)

d) wet — humid (These are not synonyms. "Wet" refers to the presence of liquid or moisture on a surface, while "humid" describes the level of moisture in the air. They are related concepts but not direct synonyms.)

e) a fag - a cigarette (These are colloquial synonyms. "A fag" is a slang term for a cigarette, often used in British English.)

f) to tremble - to shiver (These are near synonyms, as they both refer to involuntary movements caused by cold or fear. "Tremble" is a more general term, while "shiver" specifically refers to a shaking motion due to cold.)

g) breathed (consonants) - voiceless (These are not synonyms. "Breathed (consonants)" refers to the production of sounds with airflow and the vibration of vocal cords, while "voiceless" refers to sounds produced without vocal cord vibration.)

h) a border — a margin (These are not direct synonyms. "A border" typically refers to the edge or boundary of something, while "a margin" can refer to a space or distance between two things, such as the margin of a page. However, in certain contexts, they might be used interchangeably to imply a boundary or edge.)

i) nearly — approximately (These are near synonyms. Both words indicate a degree of closeness or approximation, but "approximately" suggests a slightly higher degree of accuracy or estimation.)
