Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:
Many of these synonyms for "big" primarily refer to size or scale, with subtle differences. "Enormous," "huge," and "gigantic" emphasize general large size, while "colossal" suggests something monumental, such as a very large building or statue. "Immense" focuses on vastness or boundlessness, and "massive" implies great size with a sense of weight or solidity.
"Mammoth" refers to something massive and perhaps ancient, while "jumbo" highlights oversized dimensions and "bulky" describes something large and awkwardly-shaped. "Vast" is more about large area or extent, such as land area or stretches of time. On the other hand, "copious" and "ample" refer to quantity or volume, with "copious" implying abundance and "ample" suggesting an amount is sufficient or more than enough for one's purpose.
"Hefty" refers to weight and size, focusing on heaviness. Lastly, "humongous" is an exaggeration for extreme largeness, and it might not be the best word to use when writing formally. It works best when used in fiction.
The other words found in this quiz are all antonyms of the word "big" and refer to smallness.
