EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
Choose the word which is synonymous with 'Adjunct'.
- a.Admonish
- b.Additional
- c.Amorphous
- d.Ambiguous
Answer: (B) Additional
An "adjunct" is something joined or added to a larger thing as a supplement rather than as an essential part (for example, an adjunct professor), so "additional" is the nearest in meaning. "Admonish" means to warn or reprimand, "amorphous" means shapeless or without clear structure, and "ambiguous" means open to more than one interpretation. Useful synonyms of adjunct are appendage, accessory, supplement and auxiliary; in grammar an adjunct is an optional adverbial that can be removed without making the sentence ungrammatical.
